Academy Award® -winner Kim Basinger stars in this epic tale of a woman's quest for adventure and a new life in the majestic, untamed lands of rural Africa. Based on the best-selling true story by Kuki Gallmann, this beautiful film chronicles her life as she leaves her pampered existence in Italy with her son Emanuele and her new husband Paulo for the magnificence and danger of the Kenyan countryside. Kuki learns that life has a different "rhythm" in her new home and when confronted with Africa's fury - unhindered lions, elephants and snakes, destructive storms, dangerous poachers - and the pain of personal loss, she also discovers her own inner strength and purpose. With breathtaking landscapes and riveting performances by Basinger, Vincent Perez, Eva Marie Saint and Liam Aiken, I Dreamed Of Africa is a passionate, inspiring film about love, loss and personal triumph.

Linda Cook

I Dreamed of Africa is a rarity: A true story that isn't nearly as interesting as the fictional shows on neighboring screens. Maybe that's because the story behind the story never emerges.

Desmond Ryan

I Dreamed of Africa boasts the majestic landscapes and wildlife that explain why anyone would be spellbound by the place. But the story is fitfully episodic and the jerky editing doesn't help a bit.

Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

Paula Farmer

I Dreamed of Africa fails on so many levels that it's hard to even give it credit for the one area in which it excels.

It's neither epic enough to fulfill a grand scope, nor intimate enough to be an overpowering emotional experience.
