Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
So breathtaking, so beautiful, so bold in its imagination, that it's a surprise at the end to find it doesn't finally deliver.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
What Dreams May Come has the sensibilities of an art film placed into a big-budget feature with an A-list cast.
63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Rick Groen
Too bad. What dreams may come, indeed, when such enticing foreplay ends with a consummation devoutly to be missed.
60
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
What Dreams May Come, based on a novel by Richard Matheson and directed by Vincent Ward, the New Zealand filmmaker noted for his skill at creating lavish cinematic dreamscapes, represents the uncomfortable collision of two ideas about filmmaking, one commercial, the other eccentrically, ambitiously dreamy.

Variety - Todd McCarthy
A heaping serving of metaphysical gobbledygook wrapped in a physically striking package.
