Amour aveugle

It was an okay movie, a little predictable. It was good to see Demi Moore again. Actually the acting was quite good, but the story just seemed a little flat. No big surprises. Fortunately, the ending didn't leave you hanging like so many other movies. I was surprised to see three big names involved with such a so-so story (i.e. Baldwin, Moore, McGregor)

Not an Oscar winner but a nice movie to watch while having a glass of wine at home. The acting was great and the story was believable and yet simple. Makes you see life in a different way. You never know what tomorrow brings

It's a relaxing and easy one. Nothing was significant or impressed but captivated enough for me to finish to the end.

The scripts and contents left quite some room to improve. I am not sure it was the cast or story to keep me watching. Somehow I was not bored by its predicable scenarios. It could have more layers and intellects to deepen its storyline. Demi and Alec were a little bit odd couple thrown together. I would prefer Nicole Kidman to play the role.

It's a lukewarm movie not intending to generate any publicity. It's certainly not a break out for its director. Maybe it is too safe to be memorable so to speak.

You may give a shot with your spear time.

This film tells the story of a New York housewife, whose billionaire husband is detained in jail for fraud. She is sentenced to community service, and has to read to a successful but obnoxious author who turned blind from a traffic accident.

I think the title "Blind" doesn't really do the film justice, because the story is not really about blindness. Instead, it is a good romance film, with one character who happens to be blind. Alec Baldwin's character may be obnoxious, but somehow he is charming and attracts sympathy. His interaction and the blossoming friendship with Suzanne is well built up and portrayed. The scenery of the seaside town in the final scene is breath taking as well! I liked watching it.

Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore are a good pairing because they are two very attractive people, Though Dylan McDermott is no slouch in the looks department either.

Baldwin plays a blind writer, (The stereotypical writer that's brilliant cause he wrote two great books but only published one, and he's half a bottle away from being a mean drunk). He had an encounter with Demi Moore who plays the wife of a business man who used her name to commit white collar crimes and now she's force to do community service to pay for those crimes (She too is a stereotype of being rich and white and use to getting whatever she wants but now she gets a little taste of life without the silver spoon).

McDermott's character is not as stereotyped, playing one of these wall street guys who was from the streets, but his story arch as the husband (Of Demi Moore's character) is very cliché (He treats her like she's property, and is very possessive). Though, I'm not sure if the amount of screen time McDermott got in the film was truly needed for the story, he was the most interesting character in the movie and it made the movie more interesting.

So they definitely needed him. The movie is not bad. It works best the more you like watching Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore (Who I rarely see in films today so it was a pleasure), but it's not a film that I would brag about. You watch it once, you'll like it and from there it's pretty forgettable.

It'll entertaining you for a few hours but leave no long lasting impression.
