Je ne vois que toi

The movie starts out relatively interesting. TThe storyline is good but the ending was very abrupt. As soon as the credits started rolling i was just kinda like wait...what? And I hate that about movies. Based on the reviews I wasn't expecting something out of this world and before even in starting the movie I exptected thw problem of the movie to be the end in which I was right. I feel like this was just a money filler for the both of these main actors. The movie had my undivided attention but ultimately the ending could have been done differently...

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 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.

Time to tell you how bad this film is. I didn't know much about it but I really like Blake Lively. Ever since the Gossip Girl days I've been interested in seeing more of her. The Shallows might be ridiculous at times but she's good in it and does show effort to her role. The same can be said for her commitment to this film, however its a shame everything else about this film lets her down. Its definitely a "what the hell did I just watch" film.

The film is about a woman who is blind and has surgery to repair her vision. Once this happens her husband starts realizing that she knows about how attractive and appealing she is and becomes concerned with their marriage falling apart and her being pulled out towards other relationships. That's really whats going on. Along the way she starts losing her sight again along with her relationship. And then there's a what the heck moment with an incredibly stupid ending.

The film does a good job of portraying eye popping visuals for what Lively's character sees when she is blind. The foggy, ever changing, and almost psychedelic visuals of her vision are quite nice to look at. As mentioned earlier Lively is good in this, but everyone in this film is unlikable. Lively's character isn't worth redeeming, Jason Clarke' s character is mysterious, like was he even good or bad? There's a lot of weird awkward moments dialogues about dicks and a very weirdly creepy brother in law. Yikes.

I want to say there was potential here but about twenty minutes in you realize that its just wasted time. I want to see Lively in something better with a good filmmaker to bat. This is just a frustratingly bad experience because we have a frustrating director at the helm. Its quite stupid at times, you may want to check it out to see if you can form a different more positive opinion about it. Honestly though, its better to not "see" this one.
