Underrated masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2018)

Surprisingly one of my favorite movies of all time. If you enjoy surreal, offbeat films then Vanilla Sky is right up your alley. Vanilla Sky is a mind-bending excursion across genres - a warped fairy tale that dabbles in romance, mythology, horror, mystery, and science fiction. There are plenty of philosophical musings on the difference between dreams and reality, and numerous occasions in which the film dares us to tell them apart. Vanilla Sky gives new meaning to the familiar phrase from a children's song: "Life is but a dream." Tom Cruise brings movie star wattage and appeal and both the ladies Diaz and Cruz are bubby and good. Top notch directing the film. The pacing is excellent.
