United Kingdom	Neil Jeffries Empire	"The film is overlong and requires its watcher to accept its utter lack of reality (...) However, is long outlived by the sheer joy of watching and dreaming your way through the rest of the movie (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"You can't stop watching because nobody in the audience, and possibly nobody on the screen, has any idea what's going to happen next (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Edward Guthmann SFGATE	"Arizona Dream is an inspired, erratic goulash that ignores standard movie- making formulas"	POS
United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"A flawed film like 'Arizona Dream,' with its wistfulness and pain, is still twice as interesting as most of the bloated, slick, empty successes that tend to get released here"	POS
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"It’s a dazzling, daring slice of cockamamie tragicomic Americana envisioned with magic realism by a major, distinctive European filmmaker"	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"Despite gorgeous, sometimes surreal visuals and the valiant efforts of an interesting cast, Emir Kusturica's Arizona Dream is heavy going."	NEU
