4.0 out of 5 stars Captivating!, January 13, 2010

This review is from: In a Dream (DVD)

This little gem isn't so much a documentary as much as it is a story. It's rather typical in its portrayal of a family dealing with depression, adultery, and separation, but what draws it all together into one big mound of coolness is the creativity involved in Isaiah's (The Father) work as an artist, particularly focusing on mosaic design. I believe the movie said the family resided in Philadelphia, and Isaiah's entire focus is beautifying life in and around the city by putting himself and his loved ones into his work. That coupled with the slow deterioration of his immediate family make for an interesting, if somewhat involved, piece of film making. Typically, most documentaries bore me to yawns and tears, except for those based in the genre of science, but as much as I wanted to turn this off, I couldn't help but stay glued to it, for all the wonder and color of Isaiah's work, for all the strength and stability of his wife, Julia, for the innocence and caring demeanor of Zeke, the brother who isn't filming the movie, and for Jeremiah, the brother who is filming the movie, and his attention to detail in describing, not only with interviews, but with highly visual aspects, the nature of the world in which he grew up. This one gets four stars from me! **** Highly enjoyable!

Great movie about an interesting family. Makes me want to visit Philly to check out Isaiah's art. I enjoyed the beautiful animated sequences of photographs and illustrations, as well as moving shots through Isaiah's buildings.

This review is from: In a Dream (DVD)

This documentary is so very very good , I hope it gets nominated for an Academy Award , it is about passion and a couple with a real deep HEARTISTIC connection to each other , never mind the artistic . That their son made this movie was so very cool and that both sons stepped up to help the parents realign with each other goes so against what we are all taught in our culture today. BRAVO, BRAVO .BRAVO!
