Dame tus ojos

If you like a movie full of soft porn and characters that leave you emotionally numb then this one is for you. I truly like Blake Lively but felt this was a waste of time for her. And then the plot was so muddled you didn't know what was going on half the time. I like a good mystery and artsy films but this one just leaves you befuddled. And good luck deciphering the ending because that was the biggest mystery of all....altogether a disappointing flick.

There's a broken and dirty voyeuristic atmosphere in this film that I do not enjoy.

All I see is a film school thesis movie that should have been failed and forgotten. Instead, the director's lust for Blake Lively led to a near pornographic experience that lacks any satisfaction

"All I See Is You" is a film that left me a tad disappointed. The idea for the story was very good but at times the execution seemed a bit flat....and the cinematographic trick seemed overused.

The story is oddly set in Thailand...and I really was never sure why a blind American woman would live in such a world. I have nothing against Thailand or any other country....but it did seem odd she would live in such a difficult place in which she could become acclimated due to the language and culture. It would be difficult enough to live her life in a more familiar setting. Regardless, she lives with her husband and her life seems good. But after she receives eye surgery and her vision is restored, the marriage begins to show a lot of problems....and how the husband responds to it is quite strange....but interesting.

The film wasn't bad at all and the notion of eye surgery actually resulting in a marital breakdown is fascinating. The Iranian director, Majid Majidi did a brilliant film about this ("The Willow Tree"). But here it seemed as if the film had two problems. First, to simulate the woman's vision, we often saw distorted views of the world...and this seemed overused and gimmicky. Second, some of the film seemed unnecessarily crude and rather gross. A but more subtlety would have made for a better story. Still, it is interesting and you won't hate it....but it so easily could have been a bit better.

Greetings again from the darkness. Director Marc Forster has crafted a career of making movies that are readily watchable, though for the most part, not especially memorable. These include: FINDING NEVERLAND, STRANGER THAN FICTION, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, WORLD WAR Z, and his best film, MONSTER'S BALL (2001). His latest falls short of those, but thanks to Blake Lively and some creative visuals, we remain interested enough.

This is Ms. Lively's follow up to last year's surprise summer hit THE SHALLOWS, her nearly one-woman sea-based spectacle. This time out she does an admirable job of carrying the film in spite of script flaws. It's co-written by Sean Conway and director Forster, and despite teasing some fascinating psychological aspects, we find ourselves constantly waiting for the movie to show us what we already know is about to happen. Predictability is rarely an asset for a film, and here it acts as a ball and chain to the pacing.

The first third of the film works to establish two things: what Gina's (Lively) daily life is like as a blind person, and the type of relationship she and her husband (Jason Clarke) have. We get an abundance of distorted light flashes to simulate what she has lived with since the car accident that took away her parents and her vision during childhood. Her marriage finds her very dependent on her husband and Clarke's character thrives on this … even giving brief glimpses of his demented personality that will eventually take over the film in the final act.

Gina's doctor (Danny Huston) performs a transplant which successfully restores her vision. The bulk of the story revolves around the changes that vision brings to her life and how the marriage begins disintegrating. The best message here is what happens to a relationship as the individuals change and evolve. Specifically in this case, the wife gains an entirely new perspective, while the husband longs for the days where she was dependent on him.

At times it feels as if director Forster is working hard to create the look and feel of an experimental movie, rather than focusing on the story. There are some interesting visuals provided by locations and camera angles, although the moody atmosphere never really clicks. Ms. Lively singing "Double Dutch" provides an ending that is both odd and mesmerizing in a strange way. We are reminded that evil and self-centeredness can take on many forms, though this film never quite packs the dramatic punch it should.
