Friendo: “I wish there was a link to Dreams, the Michel Franco-Jessica Chastain drama about a reckless affair. But ever since premiering in Berlin eight or nine months ago and aside from the recent screening at the Hamptons Film Festival, it’s been a no-show all over…Telluride, TIFF, NYFF, etc.”
HE: “Yeah, a bit odd. Greenwich Entertainment execs obviously liked it enough to acquire U.S. rights, but are obviously and somewhat curiously feeling skittish on some level. They’re not releasing it until early ’26.”
Friendo: “The ending apparently pissed a lot of people off.”
HE: “The pissed-off contingent was triggered by what? Chastain’s to-the-manor-born character deciding to blow off the Mexican ballet dancer-lover (Isaac Fernandez) or …what, something more drastic?”
Friendo: “I’m not entirely sure. Reviews only hinted that what Chastain does is morally repugnant.”
Never fuck anyone who’s below your social station. Or, if you will, never fuck the help.
