What Dreams May Come
1998 · 1h 53m · Drama, Fantasy, Romance
What Dreams May Come is a visually stunning but emotionally uneven journey that swings wildly between transcendent and saccharine. The mixed critical scores reflect a movie that's worth watching if you're in the mood for ambitious, weird fantasy romance—but it's a hard skip if you want something that lands consistently well.
Plot
Chris Nielsen dies to find himself in a heaven more amazing than he could have ever dreamed of. There is one thing missing: his wife. After he died, his wife Annie killed herself and went to hell. Chris decides to risk eternity in Hades for the small chance that he will be able to bring her back to heaven.
