Grey Eyes (2021) User Reviews

Had potential

[caseypthompson · 4/10 · 4 June 2022]

This had a lot of potential but it was far too slow. I kept wandering off to do things and looking at my phone. I'd rewind it and try to force myself to pay more attention, but I couldn't.

I understand they were trying to be "artistic" with it but it failed tremendously.

The acting was almost too dramatic/intense to the point it made the storyline much less convincing even for fantasy.

Nice try, but no bueno.

If you want to watch an end-of-the-world plot movie about humans losing one of their five senses...watch "Perfect Sense"

Science fiction film from Uruguay

[Flame_Wielder · 21 April 2021]

After reading the description and watching the trailer, I was eager to see this movie, but I had to wait several months for it to be released in North America. I was finally able to catch it on Amazon Prime, and it did not disappoint. The movie is beautifully filmed, first in crisp black and white with splashes of color and then transitioning into full color about halfway through the movie. The story is original and well told and kept me engaged all the way to the end. I'll definitely be watching it again. Hopefully it gets a wider audience so more people get to see this movie.

amazing concept

It's a different kind of post-apocalyptic future. Everyone has stopped seeing colors and fallen into a depressed state. Eyes have turned grey. A new invented addictive drug allows people to see limited colors again. A girl Ana escapes with a suitcase full of the drug and goes on the run with two men.

What an amazing concept. I love this different kind of apocalypse. I like the opening with the blues but the rest of the movie needs to be more careful with colors. When one takes the drug, the colors need to be very limited and short lasting. The Ishihara color test is the turning point of the movie. That's the big reveal. First, only the numbers can be seen but the world becomes fully colored as the camera pulls back from the face. That's the money shot. That's the big reveal. This is a fun little foreign sci-fi B-movie with an amazing premise. I can't wait for somebody to remake it.

It's okay, B-ish post apocalyptic filler.

It's not a bad film, some plot holes and scenes that didn't make sense, but I didn't hate it. Subtitles.

Strange Film

[billcr12 · 7/10 · 22 March 2022]

Cecelia Milano is the lead here and she is the main reason for my positive rating. The story is a bit scattered in structure but Milano is so good that I forgive the overlong production. A 12 year-old girl is the only human with the ability to see colors and is pursued by bad people. Two men take her on a road trip throughout Uruguay which has some spectacular scenery. The cinematography is awesome. The young actress carries Grey Eyes and makes it worth a viewing.
