Musician Monty Fagan is going through a rough patch. He's a grown man who lives with his girlfriend in her mom's house. He wants to open a piano bar but suffers from an extreme case of insufficient funds. Things take an interesting turn when Monty gets the chance to fill in as the pianist in a swanky hotel bar, where he meets Olivia, an older, wealthy femme fatale with whom he begins a rather torrid affair. Olivia's presence gives Monty self-confidence, but he worries about becoming a kept man.

There's a bit of an undercurrent of "The Graduate" in "Dreamland," which plays out like a grown-up coming of age tale.

It's a smart, understated sex comedy, a description that suggests a certain maturity. You'd never suspect it was the first feature from its director, Robert Schwartzman.

What stands out then is the sense of place, which feels like it was drawn directly from Schwartzman's own experiences as a musician and a child of a celebrity. He knows what he wants to show, if not yet what he wants to say.

All-in-all Dreamland shares the story of a larger-than-life figure and the journey that allowed him to forge himself as one of the most important writers in American history.

Considering the similarities to The Graduate, the result feels less like an inspired update and more like a modern-day replica.
