lisa_gemmell Review of All I See Is You

All I See Is You (2016)

this movie took me out of my comfort zone....

[7/10 · 8 October 2018]

...and strangely enough, I kinda liked it! It's an Interesting concept for a movie and the premise had me hooked from the get go- how would things change if we were cured of blindness in our adulthood? Even though the characters of Gina and James were both flawed to some extent, there was something catharic about watching their relationship fall apart. Watching Gina slowly discover who she is and realising that James may not be for her was compelling viewing. And I felt the tension conveyed throughout the movie when James' character starts to connect the dots about Gina's lies really made me feel tense while I was watching. The uncomfortable eye contact between both Gina and James at the music concert made me feel sad, uncomfortable, and like I was intruding in a really private moment, so kudos to the actors and director for that. The ending just seemed a bit rubbish though, as if they just rushed writing the end of the script and ran out of ideas. Not a feel good movie and certainly not a 'romantic comedy' as Netflix claims, but still worth a watch.
