- 70The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinArizona Dream is enjoyably adrift, a wildly off-the-wall reverie. It's more than a fish out of water.
- 70Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasArizona Dream is the quintessential Nuart movie. It’s a dazzling, daring slice of cockamamie tragicomic Americana envisioned with magic realism by a major, distinctive European filmmaker, the former Yugoslavia’s Emir Kusturica.
