Two Eyes

Independent film making shows a side of a culture that is rich and insightful. It might not have the production resources that are poured into film making by the Hollywood studios but independent film makers have an important role to play in an alternative narrative. Two Eyes which comes out of the USA provides such a narrative. The 3 stories across 3 different time periods explore diversity, different values and the spectrum of what it means to be an LGBTIQ person. The spectacular and stunning cinematogrophy enhances the stories. The cast bring a sublimeness to their roles which are believable and at times heartbreaking. This is a film which is paced and pensive. One settles into it like a pair of comfortable slippers. My only criticism of Two Eyes is that the music is heavy-handed in parts which detracts from some of the potency of the scenes. However, this aside Two Eyes is a powerful narrative and valuable contribution to independent film making.

Through three interconnected story lines we are invited into journeys of love, loss, freedom, discovery and acceptance, all the while treated to some incredible music. Two Eyes is a beautifully scenic movie, but more importantly it is one that teaches us. It teaches us (or hopefully just reminds us) that humans are humans and love is love...We should never forget how important the human connection is.

I love that this is a trans-affirming film -- so positive and real The stories are compelling with realistic consequences, and I was tearing up for the last 15 minutes of the film.

I love the example of the scripture of gender fluidity within a cultural context. I have never seen it expressed so naturally in film.

The weaving of the three time periods is done in a clever way and didn't feel contrived. Although the main characters are queer, I believe the film also calls out the importance of the ally community.

Very good acting and I love the use of the close-up cinematography.

This is not just a film for LGBTQ audiences; it is a film that everyone should see. This ranks up there with Brokeback Mountain for me!

Thank you for making this amazing film!

It can be tricky to weave multiple stories together but it feels like a good job was done in this film. Coming of age when you're finding out who you are is complicated no matter what, even more so when you live in a small town and don't even understand your own sexuality just yet. This film packs a lot into the landscape and it's a sweet and hard at times to witness portrayal of the complexities of the LGBT community. It feels like an important film and I hope it gets the credit it deserves. Though I didn't grow up in Barstow, every person who grows up in a small town can relate. We just can't wait to get out there into the big beautiful world and explore.

First of all the music and scenery is beautiful.

And there wasn't anything that I didn't like about the movie but it gave me sad feelings.

I was curious to know where this movie was going, It's about Love and the struggle some people have had to go through to live their lives in peace and be themselves.

Although I don't identify with the characters I could feel their emotions, very well acted.

History is brought to life in a beautiful setting, by the experiences of two men in 1819, the characters in 1979 and present. Well this film shows us there is nothing new under the Sun, it's a Very Special Film.
