Watch Dreams of a Life Movie Online No Survey Would anyone miss you? Nobody noticed when Joyce Vicent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her body wasn't discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on. Newspaper reports offered few details of her life -- not even a photograph. Interweaving interviews with imagined scenes from Joyce's life is not only a portrait of Joyce but a portrait on London in the eighties -- the city, music and race. It is a film about urban lives, contemporary life, and how, like Joyce, we are all different things to different people. It is about how little we may ever know each other, but nevertheless, how much we can love. -- (C) Official Site Release Date Dreams of a Life Aug 3, 2012 Limited

Review For Dreams of a Life
For all its subtext about identity and London's social fabric, "Dreams of a Life" leaves too many blanks and is ultimately more frustrating than rewarding. Stephen Holden-New York Times A riveting tale of a onetime vivacious personality, described by those who knew her as "stunning," "lovely," and "very well liked," but who nevertheless died alone, friendless and seemingly missed by nobody. Charles Gant-Variety Director Morley has at least restored something of a soul to her subject. Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York Left with barely any there there, Morley compensates with long reenactments starring look-alike Zawe Ashton that are never quite convincing but instead suck more air out of the haunting vacuum left behind in Vincent's wake. Michael Atkinson-Village Voice Morley's film is a mirror. How much do we know ourselves? How much do others know us? It works on the ego as much as it works on our empathy. Dave Calhoun-Time Out Disappointing documentary-fiction hybrid on the true story of a woman found dead and alone in an apartment three years after her demise. A pile-up of unanswered questions and unidentified witnesses frustrates more than it intrigues. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International Dreams of a Life unintentionally amounts to a mean-spirited snooze. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE Dreams of a Life succeeds in making its point about the unkowability of the people in our lives, but there isn't quite enough substance here to fully sustain the film. Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine Stunningly perplexing ... while it does leave you terribly bummed out in the end, it also leaves you with a whole lot of questions. Christopher Campbell-Movies.com It's a fascinating film, skilfully assembled, and one is inevitably reminded of Citizen Kane and Rashomon... Philip French-Observer [UK] What results is an impressionistic study of how the big city can envelope a person until there is almost nothing left except what bits and pieces acquaintances can remember. Derek Malcolm-This is London It is necessarily incomplete but still constructs a haunting portrait of a woman who deserved a better life and death. Allan Hunter-Daily Express Makes for queazy viewing. Jamie Dunn-The Skinny She may have been forgotten in life, but Joyce Vincent will haunt anyone who watches this astonishing film. Lucy Barrick-Radio Times The problem - and it's a glaring one - is that Morley imposes a creative stamp on the material that keeps getting in the way. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph It isn't just the mystery that mesmerises, it is the misery or the apprehension of it: the sense of some untold, secret pain that had been Vincent's constant companion. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Watching it is an almost claustrophobic experience, but a very powerful and moving one. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Hard to recall a film that lodges in the memory quite like this. Unmissable. Ashley Clark-Little White Lies Impressively assembled and exhaustively researched, this is a grimly fascinating, deeply upsetting documentary-slash-mystery that raises some uncomfortable questions. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Morley's documentary is as much about our own fears and conditions of connection, as it is about a woman who slipped from sight. Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman
