    A sad and moving story about two mid-twenties girls who meet at a meaningless, monotonous job both of whom have little prospects in life. The two girls strike up a friendship and the film follows the ups and downs of said relationship. The film is very enthralling and the two leading ladies give fantastic performances, this film is a very good watch.

    The strong realism in "The Dreamlife of Angels" is both good and perjudicial for the film. In a way, it is what makes it so outstanding, and what makes it so beautiful. However, it's undeniable that it might make it boring for several viewers. One can't be snobbish enough to believe that EVERYONE should like this type of movie. Personally, I found it great, and was moved to tears near the end. But I also thought the style of it was a little too dry often (not dry in the manner of Bresson, but just empty), and I noticed several people in the auditorium were intensely bored (:P like me in "boy Meets girl"). Anyways, it's a lovely, deep film, with excellent acting. I found Isa one of the most likeable but real characters in modern cinema, someone who isn't perfect but that we still want to be happy. The ending is especially memmorable.

    Amazing of what the director could do with an undoubtably low budget.
    The movie which was practically nothing but the depiction of prevalent low-class life, but it turns out to be so emotionally rich and heartbreaking attributing to its authenticity and performance, the way how the story is recorded and displayed transformed the common story into a uncommonly good one.
    There're things people don't usually make movies about, some corners in reality too dark and negative to be accepted. The few which dare to swim in dangerous waters are always successful, such as Requiem of A Dream and this one.

    A beautiful and realistic protrayal of lost human beings looking for their own place in the world; perfectly performed and paced, even when not completely memorable.
