Dreamin' Wild is sometimes too caught up in its own artfulness, and all that weighted form ends up trapping its ideas rather than giving them heft.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Editor's note: This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movie being covered here wouldn't exist.
Pohlad's film primarily follows Donnie Emerson , a struggling musician who, in 2011, experiences a dramatic shift in fortune. As teenagers, he and his brother Joe recorded an album, Dreamin' Wild, on their family's farm in Fruitland, Washington. It didn't really go anywhere, but Donnie's father, Don Sr. , decided to financially back his son's career in music anyway, and it ended up costing them most of their farmland.
One of Pohlad's best impulses is to not make Donnie's struggle with his sudden success about a fixation on how his life could have been. Instead, it's about his inability to return to the artistic state responsible for this new wave of admiration — adult Donnie isn't an overnight success, his younger self is.
This isn't the only instance when something easily grasped the first time around is telegraphed in a few more shots before it's said aloud. What's peculiar about Dreamin' Wild is that these are telltale signs of a pretender, a film dressed up in supposedly meaningful style without the substance to back it up, but that description feels unfair to a movie that is substantive.
