Dallas Observer by Gregory Weinkauf
The Dreamers is a real humdinger, at once an intimate romance, a glimpse into a rather unconventional friendship and a beautifully focused celebration of cinema itself.
The Special Dream (فيلم حِلْم خاص - The Special Dream)
In a society that knows nothing but passing judgment on others, this pattern is clearly reflected in the life of someone striving to create something different , professionally and beyond societal norms.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
An ambitious and exciting piece of work, a movie about sex and movies made by a filmmaker who understands the power of each to set off fantasy, create addiction, incite danger and transform the spirit.

The film is extraordinarily beautiful. Bertolucci is one of the great painters of the screen.

The thrills of this movie are aesthetic ones, the creation of new, ravishing imagery (and all three of our young heroes are beautiful enough to be up to this task), the surrender to dream logic, the adoration of the silver screen.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Best when it recreates the cultural and political ferment of the era, capturing the idealism that made youths push against the social boundaries imposed on them by elders.

The Dreamers may go slack when you most want it to soar, but it also seduces with eroticism and resonates with ideas.
