Top Critics Reviews

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.

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,

rotten:
It's neither epic enough to fulfill a grand scope, nor intimate enough to be an overpowering emotional experience.
– Paul West,

fresh:
This film, based on a true story, transcends its handsomeness to present a subtle portrait of a woman's growing consciousness.
– Richard Schickel,

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.
