Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
In the opening segment of I Dreamed Of Africa, Kim Basinger breaks her leg. The rest of the film is so dull, you can almost hear the bone heal.
– Keith Phipps,

fresh:
This film, based on a true story, transcends its handsomeness to present a subtle portrait of a woman's growing consciousness.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
23 Jul 2014
rotten:
It's neither epic enough to fulfill a grand scope, nor intimate enough to be an overpowering emotional experience.
– Paul West,
Seattle Times,
23 Jul 2014
rotten:
Basinger handles her role capably, but is absurdly miscast as an Italian, and French actor Perez fails to create credible chemistry with his co-star.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
23 Jul 2014
rotten:
I Dreamed of Africa boasts the majestic landscapes and wildlife that explain why anyone would be spellbound by the place. But the story is fitfully episodic and the jerky editing doesn't help a bit.
