This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.When we first meet Nicolas Cage’s entirely forgettable Paul Matthews in Dream Scenario, it’s—as the title implies—in a dream. His daughter Sophie has had a dream where random items are falling from the sky before she starts floating away.
'Dream Scenario' Is a Weird World for Kristoffer Borgli and Nicolas Cage to Explore Between the one-two punch of Sick of Myself and, now, Dream Scenario, Borgli is creating an intriguing lineup of work that is both dark and strange in a way that reminds of early Yorgos Lanthimos. Both in his writing and directing, there’s a dark undercurrent and a foreboding feel to them, even when the film is deeply humorous.
Similarly, Borgli and Cage also let loose when the dreams begin to become more malicious, and people start to become afraid of Paul. The dreams themselves allow Borgli and Cage an opportunity to play around with different worlds in a bit-sized fashion, but in these segments, Dream Scenario becomes more of a horror story, turning Paul into a twisted sort of Freddy Krueger creation , and lets Cage go all-in with the craziness that entails.
