"All I See Is You" is a romantic-psychological-thriller with two of the most repulsive leading characters in recent memory.
The setting is Bangkok, Thailand, and the focus is on a dysfunctional marriage built around the sense of sight. Gina is visually impaired, due to a devastating automobile accent in which her parents died and she lost her sight. "Big Bad" James is the doting husband who has found his calling in life by being a caretaker to his beloved wife and relishing in her dependency.
Due to the miracle of medical science, Gina has surgery that restores her sight in one eye. The film might have been a celebration of the gift of eyesight, as clearly the film artists have some talent in the visual language of cinema. Instead, the film turned into a bizarre psychological thriller.
There is a defining moment in the film when Gina ask James whether he loved her more when she was blind. "Big Bad" James hedges on his answer, turning question back on Gina.
The couple attempts to celebrate the occasion of Gina's restored sight by traveling to Spain. But Gina and James bicker about whether or not they are staying in the same exact hotel room from their honeymoon, and they meet the strangest pair of in-laws imaginable in Gina's sister and her psychotic avant-garde artist husband.
Another bummer in the couple's relationship is that they desperately want a child, which is not forthcoming. Of course, they are convinced that having a baby will solve all of their personal problems! "Big Bad" James is shooting blanks due to low sperm count. So, do they try to solve the problem by talking about in vitro? Of course not, because talking about their problems would be the sign of a healthy relationship!
In the most improbable moment in the film, "Big Bad" James dilutes Gina's eye drops in the hope her blindness will return along with the former power structure of their relationship. He also inexplicably has the couple's lavish apartment trashed and turns loose Gina's beloved dog Ginger. But Gina outfoxes "Big Bad" James. Ginger finds a new a loving pet owner. Gina secretly takes her genuine eye drops. And for the clincher, she becomes pregnant after coupling with a potent fellow dog lover!
This slow-moving film was a train wreck in character development. With a thin script, the filmmakers attempted to drench the product in atmosphere. The result was a big-budget Lifetime Channel psychodrama about a couple of nut cases.
