Convinced that she shares a powerful connection with the sea, a beautiful woman defies everyone around her and soon discovers that, in a world where myths are reality and truth imaginary, sometimes humans can connect with nature in the most remarkable ways. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Sea of Dreams purports to be a film of 'magic realism,' but it's neither magical nor realistic.
Peter Debruge, Variety
Though good intentions don't necessarily excuse pic's more predictable elements, unjaded auds will see under-the-radar release as a rare treasure.
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
Pretty scenery. Pretty people. Pretty story. Pretty bad.
, Los Angeles Times
Sea of Dreams, a stilted romantic fable by director and co-writer José Bojorquez, places attractive actors in an idyllic setting but fails to capture any of the magic it strains so hard to produce.
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
Sea of Dreams is not likely to make much of a splash.
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
The cast comprises some of the most beautiful people on Earth. In fact, the chance to see the still impossibly sexy [Sonia] Braga in action almost makes the whole exercise worthwhile.
