Antonio Lopez is a painter of the highest caliber. His technique is honed down to a science, and he's very precise. Where Lopes struggles, however, is in execution on a timeline consistent with his own aging personhood. As Lopez endeavors to paint the titular tree, he meditates on his artistic career and the time he has that's slowly slipping away.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The New York Times by Elvis Mitchell
The purity and breadth of this meticulous study are all the more gratifying in view of its unprepossessing style.
38
To paraphrase that old quip about slow-paced art films, it literally is watching paint dry.
80
More analytical than contemplative, never less than straightforward, Dream of Light makes no showy bid for the sublime.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Gorgeous, fascinating and surprisingly suspenseful.
70
Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum
Like the painter, it's painstakingly serious about what it's up to.
80
An enthusiastic recommendation.

Mr. Showbiz by Michael Atkinson
For the discouraged filmgoer, Erice's tone poem will be a ray of hope itself.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
It's a rich work, lush and lovely and bustling with activity but paced at a contemplative stroll, like a time lapse recording in first gear.
