A FILM BY STEVIE NICKS & DAVE STEWART
Decadent rock star, ’70s survivor, gypsy songbird, white-winged dove — the inimitable Stevie Nicks has entranced millions of fans worldwide with her poetic lyrics, sultry singing and featherand-lace style. In 2010 Nicks embarked on the recording of a new solo album, IN YOUR DREAMS, produced by former Eurythmics mastermind Dave Stewart. With cameras in tow, documentarian Stewart and diva Nicks set up shop in her home studio and reveal their collaborative creative process. Shifting dynamically among video formats, painstaking recording sessions and revealing interviews, this magic-tinged musical journey is a loving and tuneful portrait of the eternally bewitching Gold Dust Woman.
Singer Stevie Nicks walked the red carpet in Toronto on Monday for the Canadian premiere of her new documentary In Your Dreams.

"last night I was lucky enough (I have a really great friend who may love Stevie Nicks more than I do), to go see her documentary about the making of her record with Dave Stewart, IN YOUR DREAMS. I left having more reasons (new reasons) why I love Stevie Nicks. Here are ten more things I learned about the gold dust woman last night."

"Home is definitely is where the heart is for Stevie. For a woman who forfeited a traditional family life for a music career – she goes out of her way to make sure Dave, her crew, family, soldiers back from war, fans are always taken care of. Her compassion and the selfless use of her craft to raise funds for soldiers suffering from posttraumatic stress and survivors of Hurricane Katrina runs in her familial blood. It’s just what you do when you are from the South."

"I think there was a realization that happened to her – that the album was a collaboration, and that it was possible. She’d been closed in and locked in, if you know what I mean, and then the whole world opened up for her. I’m sure she could spend a lot of time in her house on her own, or with the people she normally works with, and not realize that there’s a world out there to play with." (Interview with Dave Stewart)

"Stevie's incredibly generous. She's always kept the same backing singers, the same friends... even the sounds guys and everybody. They've all stuck by her. They're so loyal to her. And that's an amazing thing that I discovered about Stevie of how deep that runs within her, this loyalty." (Interview with Dave Stewart)

"And for those of us who have loved Nicks since she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974, seeing her peer at a lyric sheet through a magnifying glass brings a certain comfort. We’re getting older, too, Stevie."
- THE TORONTO STAR
"She can get whomever she wants to play with her – Waddy Wachtel and old Fleetwood Mac pals Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham – so the quality of the musicianship is high.And archival photos of her childhood give the film some historical flavour. "

“What’s amazing about Stevie’s audience is that it ranges from 12 years old to 60 odd years old,’ said Stewart.
“I mean girls of 16 are obsessed with the look, the feeling, the words, and then you get soldiers – it’s amazing – you get a cross-section audience, age-wise, gender-wise.”
- CANOE
"As for men, get your own! So insists the goddess, speaking from experience. Getting onto the subject of adultery — inspired by her watching the new Anna Karenina movie — Nicks shares, “I have done exactly what [Anna] did. And do you know what it got me? Nothing. It got me misery and unhappiness. … And bad karma.”"
