"'Dreamland' is a straight up portrait of a couple in Margate stuck in an inevitable cycle of poverty. The arcade comes with the promise of escapism and transcendence. Bright lights and sugary treats, it’s attractive even though they’re places of gambling and addiction. There’s a real sensation of joy in winning something but ultimately it’s short lived since the prize has minimal meaning or value."
