by

Finn Cole, known for his role in *Peaky Blinders*, stars in the crime thriller *Dreamland*, which is now available to stream for free in the UK. The film has been praised as “captivating” in its trailer.

The 2019 thriller follows Eugene Evans, a teenager in Texas, who discovers a woman named Allison Wells (Margot Robbie) hiding in his barn. She’s on the run, and the story unfolds during the Great Depression.

Allison explained her problem to the teen, then offered him $20,000 to help her get away to Mexico. He accepted the money and agreed to help.

Their trip quickly goes wrong when they impulsively rob a bank, bringing Eugene’s younger sister, Phoebe, along with them.

During the Great Depression, a teenage bounty hunter faces a difficult choice: should he help or capture a charming bank robber who’s taken refuge in his hometown?

The movie *Dreamland*, directed by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, is now available to stream on Channel 4 in the UK, and you can watch it for free with advertisements.

The film also stars Travis Fimmel, known for his role in *Vikings*, along with Kerry Condon, Darby Camp, and Lola Kirke, who narrates the story.

I was really excited for this movie when it came out, but honestly, the reviews were all over the place. Right now, it’s sitting at around 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 60 reviews. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely not a critical darling!

Despite a somewhat predictable story, *The Hollywood Reporter* praised the film *Dreamland* for being visually spectacular and otherwise excellent, suggesting the story’s flaws are easily overlooked.

According to *The New York Times*, the movie was disappointing and would have been better if it had been more raw, intense, and focused. They also suggested the filmmakers should have avoided taking inspiration from Terrence Malick’s style.

According to RogerEbert.com, *Dreamland* at the very least proves that Margot Robbie is a truly talented actress and a major movie star.

Cole, famous for playing Michael Gray in the BBC’s *Peaky Blinders*, recently appeared in the film *Last Breath*.

This survival thriller, which came out in February, is based on the real-life story of deep-sea diver Chris Lemons, played by Cole.

Okay, so I’m a huge Margot Robbie fan and I was looking for more of her movies to watch. Luckily, Digital Spy put together a great list of five of her best that you can stream right now, which is super convenient!

Dreamland is now streaming on Channel 4.
