Man Takes Care of Blind Wife Who Starts to See Again
All I Run into is Ew
All I meet is a film schoolhouse thesis movie that should accept been failed and forgotten. Instead, the managing director'southward lust for Blake Lively led to a near pornographic experience that lacks any satisfaction

Cocked Psychodrama About Two Nut Cases
Warning: Spoilers
"All I See Is You" is a romantic-psychological-thriller with two of the most repulsive leading characters in recent retentivity.
The setting is Bangkok, Thailand, and the focus is on a dysfunctional marriage built around the sense of sight. Gina is visually impaired, due to a devastating automobile accent in which her parents died and she lost her sight. "Big Bad" James is the adoring husband who has constitute his calling in life past being a caretaker to his beloved married woman and relishing in her dependency.
Due to the miracle of medical science, Gina has surgery that restores her sight in one eye. The film might have been a celebration of the gift of eyesight, as conspicuously the film artists take some talent in the visual linguistic communication of cinema. Instead, the moving-picture show turned into a bizarre psychological thriller.
In that location is a defining moment in the picture when Gina ask James whether he loved her more when she was blind. "Big Bad" James hedges on his answer, turning question back on Gina.
The couple attempts to gloat the occasion of Gina's restored sight by traveling to Espana. But Gina and James bicker about whether or not they are staying in the same exact hotel room from their honeymoon, and they encounter the strangest pair of in-laws imaginable in Gina'due south sister and her psychotic avant-garde creative person husband.
Another bummer in the couple'south human relationship is that they desperately want a child, which is not forthcoming. Of form, they are convinced that having a baby volition solve all of their personal problems! "Large Bad" James is shooting blanks due to low sperm count. So, do they endeavour to solve the trouble past talking nearly in vitro? Of course non, because talking virtually their problems would be the sign of a healthy relationship!
In the almost improbable moment in the film, "Large Bad" James dilutes Gina'southward eye drops in the hope her blindness will return along with the former power structure of their human relationship. He also inexplicably has the couple'due south lavish apartment trashed and turns loose Gina's beloved dog Ginger. But Gina outfoxes "Large Bad" James. Ginger finds a new a loving pet owner. Gina secretly takes her genuine eye drops. And for the clincher, she becomes pregnant later on coupling with a potent boyfriend canis familiaris lover!
This wearisome-moving film was a railroad train wreck in character development. With a thin script, the filmmakers attempted to drench the product in atmosphere. The result was a big-budget Lifetime Channel psychodrama about a couple of nut cases.

Alert: Spoilers
Bottomless. made me aroused. unbearably anticipated. awkward and weird with so many parts where i questioned why it's in the movie, and that was never answered. there are some good things here, similar music and visuals. has a trippy feel. and lots of intrigue to start the movie. i call back thinking i kinda like this about a third of the way through. just i knew that so little had happened in the plot so far, and the directions the movie could accept could easily swing my opinion either way. i was right. they went in a horrible direction. almost nothing happens in this moving-picture show. a lot of times with movies that kickoff with intrigue, it never amounts to anything. it simply feels kind of pointless at the stop. this picture went further. information technology really angered me and made me desire to stop watching. i finished on fast speed but i already knew basically everything that would happen. focused on forced human relationship drama and feelings. was difficult to end. (1 viewing)

"We don't know who me is."- more than a case of rediscovery inevitably gone bad than insecurity- and how not to cope with loss.
Warning: Spoilers
First off, I don't meet any issues with the pacing, the visuals, or the music in the pic. All were fine and in fact, although the catastrophe felt a scrap rushed, it was not just meaningful merely also artistic without being pretentious.
I agree, withal, with some of the reviewers that information technology more falls into the drama genre than thriller. I have a brief moment of disappointment with practiced flicks that are categorized wrong, only that'due south about it.
Now... My character assay is somewhere between the spectrum of views from the reviewers.
The movie does non clearly hint at any possibility that Clarke's grapheme specifically went out to discover someone permanently vulnerable to ally, due to a handicap. When you extrapolate the characters into the past, peradventure some of the audience would say that is very probable. Understandably so, as in that location are many people who actually feel so insecure as to purposely marry totally dependent partners.
The problem in the motion picture is, though, Lively'due south grapheme doesn't waste time to confirm her hubby's fears, and denies it when confronted.
It would be only natural for her to change her looks following the performance- she had to see herself first to know what she wanted to look like.
That was not what troubled the married man. It could accept been, in other cases, but the film tells us that it is not.
What critically troubled the husband was that scene on the train that he kept replaying, closing upwardly on his wife'south face every bit she thought no 1 was watching.
Also the realizations: 1. she lied about the human in the park 2. she said she was meaning, without knowing her husband was sterile.
Whereas he could confront her and file a divorce or give her a second chance, the husband hatched a wicked programme to take her blind cocky back, declining to take the fact that newly gained eyesight would brand one discover more about oneself and have preferences with things ane had no manner of deciding before. As Gina said: "we don't know who me is." This was the problem. The husband could only become to know this new married woman as fast as she could get to know more of herself. This problem was non mutually shared, as the wife had understandably welcomed the changes with please.
Said another way, changes happen faster than the husband is able to permit sink in and upon realizing that he is losing his married woman, he tries to opposite the procedure back to when he knows she would need him, therefore would keep him, as if he can make her unsee things, rewind time. So he tries to actually bullheaded her. That is how mentally sick he has become.
Equally the wife is singing this vocal on phase from a time when she was blind and all she saw was him, and staring straight in his optics all the fourth dimension... in that location's this silent conversation via exchanges of gazes of how she used to love him, how she could nevertheless see and knew what he had been upwardly to, and how he ruined it all. He gets the messages, walks out on her and jumps in his auto, and, captivated in a very emotionally intense session of self-introspection and judgment while driving, ends upward in a fatal accident.
A life ends as a new one begins. Things motility on, one way or some other. If he had thought about it before the operation he could prepare and therefore grant himself "the serenity to accept the things he cannot change".
I loved well-nigh everything about the flick without the need to root for either of these ii characters who had become very realistically unlikable as the picture proceeded. I respect this in a movie. A common cold but sincere little flick.

Thoroughly enjoyed!
I think the low reviews come up from people who bask action thrillers with over the top plot twists. This is a movie about homo nature, explored in a very unique way. How would your life modify if you went blind then could suddenly see once more many years later later on moving on with life? This is non a faced paced film, but instead hooks you in with beautiful details, a constant subtle suspense, and a unique filming point of view. Blake Lively is captivating and says so much with little words. Completely underrated and unappreciated. Open you mind, and optics, and give this movie a go.

This could accept been better....simply the thought is interesting.
"All I Encounter Is Y'all" is a film that left me a tad disappointed. The thought for the story was very expert simply at times the execution seemed a flake flat....and the cinematographic play a trick on seemed overused.
The story is oddly set in Thailand...and I really was never sure why a bullheaded American adult female would alive in such a earth. I have nothing against Thailand or whatever other country....just it did seem odd she would alive in such a hard place in which she could become acclimated due to the language and culture. Information technology would be difficult enough to alive her life in a more familiar setting. Regardless, she lives with her husband and her life seems good. But afterwards she receives center surgery and her vision is restored, the wedlock begins to show a lot of bug....and how the married man responds to it is quite foreign....but interesting.
The film wasn't bad at all and the notion of eye surgery really resulting in a marital breakdown is fascinating. The Iranian director, Majid Majidi did a brilliant picture show about this ("The Willow Tree"). Merely here it seemed as if the moving-picture show had ii issues. First, to simulate the woman's vision, we oftentimes saw distorted views of the world...and this seemed overused and contemporary. Second, some of the moving-picture show seemed unnecessarily crude and rather gross. A only more subtlety would have fabricated for a amend story. Still, it is interesting and y'all won't hate it....merely information technology then easily could have been a chip improve.

All I encounter is a mediocre film
Marc Forster has delivered some decent big budget films in the past, like World War Z and Quantum of Solace, merely All I See is Y'all is smaller and a less ballsy offer. The story is an interesting i, a adult female who has been blind for a long time has a procedure to get her eyesight back. The recovery period is long only ultimately successful in helping her gain her eyesight back, but she slowly starts realizing her life is not at all what it seems.
I thought the bandage did a fine job, Blake Lively played a blind woman quite well and Jason Clarke played her supportive yet angry husband.
The problem with this movie is that zip really happens, it tried to hit the viewer with a couple twists merely those ultimately vicious apartment. Some other problem was that it tried to utilise sex to further the narrative merely that really just got in the way and felt forced. Maybe Marc was trying to distract the viewer with sex and so they don't realize his film is boring. A sort of plus was the handful of cool visuals that were scattered throughout the film, I won't tell you what they are considering I don't really know how to explicate them and if yous choose to come across it, I don't want to requite annihilation away.
My Proffer: Encounter information technology if you like Blake Lively or Jason Clarke enough to sit down through a ho-hum movie starring them.
Seen at TIFF 2016.

not much to see here
Greetings again from the darkness. Director Marc Forster has crafted a career of making movies that are readily watchable, though for the almost part, not especially memorable. These include: FINDING NEVERLAND, STRANGER THAN FICTION, Breakthrough OF SOLACE, World War Z, and his best picture, MONSTER'Southward Ball (2001). His latest falls short of those, simply 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 striking 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'due south co-written by Sean Conway and director Forster, and despite teasing some fascinating psychological aspects, we observe ourselves constantly waiting for the movie to bear witness us what nosotros 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 3rd of the film works to plant 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 automobile accident that took away her parents and her vision during childhood. Her marriage finds her very dependent on her hubby and Clarke's character thrives on this … even giving brief glimpses of his demented personality that will eventually have over the moving picture in the last act.
Gina'southward 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 hither is what happens to a relationship equally the individuals alter and evolve. Specifically in this case, the wife gains an entirely new perspective, while the hubby longs for the days where she was dependent on him.
At times it feels every bit if director Forster is working difficult to create the look and feel of an experimental flick, rather than focusing on the story. There are some interesting visuals provided past locations and camera angles, although the moody atmosphere never actually 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 tin can take on many forms, though this pic never quite packs the dramatic punch it should.

All I Encounter is You (2017)
Fourth dimension to tell you lot how bad this film is. I didn't know much near 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 exist ridiculous at times only she's good in it and does bear witness effort to her role. The aforementioned can be said for her commitment to this film, withal its a shame everything else nearly this movie lets her downward. Its definitely a "what the hell did I just watch" picture.
The film is about a woman who is blind and has surgery to repair her vision. Once this happens her married man starts realizing that she knows near how attractive and appealing she is and becomes concerned with their matrimony falling apart and her being pulled out towards other relationships. That's really whats going on. Along the fashion she starts losing her sight again along with her relationship. And then in that location'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'southward character sees when she is blind. The foggy, ever changing, and nearly 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' south 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 blood brother in constabulary. Yikes.
I want to say at that place was potential hither but about twenty minutes in yous realize that its just wasted time. I want to see Lively in something improve with a good filmmaker to bat. This is simply a frustratingly bad experience because we have a frustrating managing director at the captain. Its quite stupid at times, yous may desire to cheque it out to run across if you tin can form a different more than positive opinion about information technology. Honestly though, its ameliorate to not "see" this i.
5/ten

A thoughtful, well directed, beautifully shot and acted 'sort of' thriller
Warning: Spoilers
I went into this film blind (pun intended) not really knowing much about it at all, but needing something 'romantic' from Netlix for a Saturday afternoon. Blake Lively is ever interesting to me whether in engaging dramas like Age of Adeline or in engaging nonsense such as The Shallows.
It's immediately interesting and the opening images arresting: a kaleidoscope of bodies, a couple in the throes of passion, silken sheets and milky skies - beautifully blended. The images make sense when we discover that Lively'south graphic symbol Gina, is blind - was blinded in a car blow that killed her parents. Her husband, James, dotes on her, caters for her every need, spoils her - he seems quietly, mayhap subconsciously grateful for the position of power their state of affairs puts him in.
The first 30 minutes knits together the confusion and frustration of Gina's everyday life perfectly sometimes taking u.s.a. behind her eyes to feel the lights and the shapes that Gina can almost meet as we follow her to the pool, instruction guitar, and to the doctors where she is told that a transplant is possible.
The mood shifts dramatically when Gina regains partial sight. She gets a new charter of life. She soaks everything in. She wants to experience everything she's been missing. Gina is ecstatic in her new institute sense - on a trip to Spain to visit her sister, she begins to shrug off the old Gina and starts to transform, sexing up her wardrobe, starting to wearable makeup, nearly purposefully seeking out moments to excite and arouse her. James starts to think that he won't exist enough for her and indeed the things she took for granted are non what she expected and not necessarily what she wants.
Whilst what follows is definitely psychological, and in part thrilling, this is very much a written report of a relationship on the precipice and the extremes we'll go to when cornered or desperate. Gina realises that life has options, and James will practise annihilation he can to try and limit them, to salvage what they accept.
I found this film incredibly satisfying. I found the matrimony of Gina and James, the transition to a new way of living, Gina's effervescence for her new life and James's astute feet that he is nearly to lose everything actually believable. At that place's a existent tension and it's all played beautifully and naturally. In that location'southward a moment (a millisecond) near the end where it veers towards melodrama, and fifty-fifty though not the romantic one-act I was looking for, was a motion-picture show I'm definitely glad I've seen.

More of a travelogue for Thailand'due south Tourist Industry...
With more aerial shots of Thailand and its beautiful countryside its actually more than of an advert for Thailand and Holidays than a movie.
Its slow and full of stupid dialogue about penis size and sex and very piffling in the way of an bodily story.
Directors seem inordinately obsessed with sex activity these days - personally I am with Boy George on that one and would rather have a cuppa Earl Grey myself than watch fake sex activity scenes in movies - I prefer the old days where a kiss was plenty and disappear to the bedroom. To me information technology merely slows the movie downwardly and in well-nigh instances does naught for the story.
This is not really like watching pigment dry, its actually more than irksome than that!

Alarm: Spoilers
This is an boilerplate pic at all-time! It was a pleasure to see Blake Lively in some other role (other than Gossip Daughter) just unfortunately the storyline wasn't all that gripping. Information technology's basically a story of which the lead gets her sight back partially, which seems to change the dynamic of her relationship with her Husband, something that all the same baffles me. But then his behavior baffles me as well. Getting her sight restored, gave the lead more confidence and gave her a sense of risk...which afterwards being bullheaded since childhood, y'all can sympathize. But then she also became less beholden of her Married man and less respectful toward him. Having a confidence heave I can sympathize, being mean to a person who's been in that location for y'all and supported yous I cannot. That seemed selfish! Merely then of course he was selfish switching the center drops, due to not liking the new modify in his Wife. And what he did with her dog was unforgivable. I too don't become why (equally she obviously knew) she pretended to not be able to see...why not just be honest, have it out with him and try figuring out what the issue is. Instead of playing mind games with each other. There'south no way that a married couple who really loved each other, would really practise any of these things, just because of regained sight. Unless the but affair they loved about each other was feeling needed and beingness co-dependent. I found this story to be a sorry/depressives one, but well acted for the almost part overall

Psychological union drama... "We don't really know who me is, do we?"
"All I Come across Is You" (2017 release; 110 min.) brings the story of Gina and James, a married couple. As the moving picture opens, nosotros are told it'south "Bangkok, Thailand", and the couple is making dearest, trying to conceive. In the side by side few moments, we understand that Gina is legally blind, following a horrific car crash. She can't run into more than a mistiness of lite (and the camera shows us what that'due south like). But then, wonderful news! The eye car clinic tells her they tin can restore sight to her right eye. After the operation, Gina indeed gains eyesight. But at present problems arise in the marriage nevertheless (or because so?). At this signal we are xv min. into the movie just to tell y'all more of the plot would spoil your viewing feel, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.
Couple of comments: this is the latest movie from managing director Mark Forster, who previously brought u.s. "Moster's Ball" and "Earth State of war Z", among others. Here he goes in in different management: what is life like when you unexpectedly regain your eyesight? and how does information technology affect personal relationships? The movie leaves u.s. guessing for a long time how information technology really is unfolding, and that's fine. The first part of the movie focuses on the sensation of regaining eyesight ("I simply want to encounter colors", says Gina), while the second function focuses on the marriage issues between Gina and James (sorry, tin't say more then equally not to spoil), Blake Lively, whom nosotros saw lat yr in "Cafe Society" and the far better than expected "The Shallows", takes the movie on her shoulders and is absolutely tops. Jason Clark equally the hubby is fine. The flick's photography is eye-processed. I've never been to Bangkok and didn't quite realize how sophisticated a city information technology is. The scenes in southern Spain and in Barcelona are equally eye-processed.
"All I See Is You lot" premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, aye, over a year ago. No thought why information technology has taken this long to finally get a proper theater release. The flick opened this weekend at my local fine art-house theater hither in Cincinnati, and I couldn't wait to see it. The Saturday evening screening where I saw this at was attended so-so (about 10 people in total) and that is not a good sign. I can only speak for myself obviously, but I quite enjoyed this psychological marriage drama, even if things (or perhaps just considering) aren't always quite clear. I'd suggest you lot cheque this out, be it in the theater, on VOD, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray, and draw your own conclusion.

Information technology all works out for her in a messed up way subsequently they dragged the states through her being ungrateful and not honest as soon as she got her vision back but yet managed to brand him the bad guy in the writing. Cracking acting though

It's non really a thriller, and then what's it supposed to be?
Warning: Spoilers
I feel like this had the potential to be a great thriller, only there's so many things that went wrong so sadly I can't say it is. The main problem is the pacing, there's but no build up of suspense for the majority of the movie, and then the terminal sequence of events happen and then quickly so as to almost feel rushed. Also whereas the husband is clearly meant to be the antagonist in the story, and the wife is the heroine, there's simply something that doesn't quite sit right with me about her, and I feel like both characters come off as quite unlikeable past the stop. I mean I know it was really bad for him to change the middle drops, so certain I can take him equally the bad guy, he got information technology coming to him in the end. Just equally for the wife permit's merely put it this mode, when she gets her vision back she becomes quite rude towards her married man, cocky centred, sleeps with another guy, so lies most it and even has a baby which she clearly tries to laissez passer off as the husband's, and then pretends that she'southward however blind when she can really run into, and by the end subsequently he kills himself and she has the baby it'southward like it was supposedly a good turn of events, like a sort of redemption. In that location'southward a feminist quality to the protagonist, and by regaining her sight it distills this power within her, and that by challenging her newfound self empowerment the married man became the villain. The funny thing is that I felt more sympathy for the husband for the most of the moving picture... hell mayhap that's simply me, only I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of people who similar this movie are women, only either way it's just bad.
Then to answer the initial question 'It'southward not really a thriller, so what's it supposed to be?', well it'south kind of like a very average drama with unlikeable characters, really not a skilful combination. But if we could accept away any real moral from the story it's that people tin can change, and non merely from regaining eyesight, these things happen, and you lot just have to be careful nigh heavily investing your life into someone when they tin can completely alter. And to realise when you are both no longer compatible for each other and when to walk away. Conspicuously this moving-picture show deals with this in a very negative manner, and ultimately the ending was but downright depressing.

Terrible script , slap-up looking - but depressing twisted nonsensical story
Warning: Spoilers
This is a strange moving-picture show as information technology is well acted with high product value and some superb locations but the characters take very few redeeming qualities and it ends up existence a super depressing twisted dull story that falters at every act.
I saw it with an open up mind and the cool artsy directing shots that are blurry to show life through a blind woman eyes are refreshing at get-go merely become one-time quickly and hit you over the head. Yes we realize she is bullheaded but the audience is not and the story matters or at least provide more depth to the characters and story to make us sympathize with them.
Instead the story goes in a very anticipated and yet baroque sexual direction and moves from a happy dependent marriage to of a sudden she recovers her eyesight and wants to explore and exist sexy and tie up her husband, watch peep shows and eventually have sex with the pool guy with a huge member. What? As much every bit I like Blake Lively, one feels disconnected and united nations sympathetic for the primary female graphic symbol, and almost for both of these total depressing freaks. Blake'south character could take gone in so many directions instead of this dark road alienating her husband...and the catastrophe is foreign and twisted. Aye we realize the hubby wants his co dependent blind wife back and even willing.. spoiler.. to modify her eye drops and then she loses her sight again to regain his docile submissive dependent wife... but in some ways you almost experience similar she was a more suitable partner as a blind adult female because she was in love with him. Love is Blind.
And every bit a WOman with Eye Sight... she has she turned into. Aye the crazy Spanish guy that is far from funny in this picture show says information technology all. She falls for another guy. ..... information technology is almost like writer wanted to say.. New Woman falls for Alpha male with large member and crazy loud sex or willing to punch any man to protect his woman - is her ideal partner for Ex Bullheaded adult female. It makes one think what really inspire the writer to write this twisted story ... while ane suffers through this long fatigued out pathetic story. Is there a deeper significant that got lost in the editing room or did the writer really write something this terrible.
And the worst part is that i read it was done for xxx million and the production value is def on the screen... but without a solid story/script a film always falls apart. It is still worth watching the film nonetheless be prepared for a depressing drawn out movie. Kudos to the DP and Director/Producers for trying to get in come together and of course the actors did a wonderful job. I rate information technology a 4 as a 5 is also loftier for the painful long arse boring depressing script with fifty-fifty worse ending possible. Almost was hoping the hubby would hit a truck and be blinded.. now that would have been stupendous catastrophe.

All I run into are unsophisticated reviewers!
It is a actually good affair that I don't implicitly trust the raw IMDb boilerplate review score of a move before deciding whether to see it or not.
This was an excellent movie, made unique specifically past the fact that information technology wasn't the typical feel-good, everything is explained in the terminate, cookie-cutter Hollywood drivel! Information technology seems likewise many viewers today are looking to disengage their brain and exist spoon-fed a story-line where all character arcs are complete and all questions answered - deplorable really. I appreciated the fact that this movie allowed the states to view a complex and dynamic relationship, and afterward do our ain critical thinking and take some personal meaning away from the story.
I'm also particularly amused by the hypocritical puritan nut-jobs who lambasted the film by judging Gina'south actions as a negative commentary on the entire female gender - get real people!! The intent is a realistic story setting, and in reality humans actually practise have sex and are fallible (have diplomacy/become jealous). If you are looking for a perfect (but unrealistic) fantasy world depiction ... stick to Marvel comic movies :) Notwithstanding, if y'all like being engaged with an intense and realistic story that demands some thinking by the viewer (and beautifully set in Thailand), you won't be disappointed.

Now you see me, now you don't
Producer, manager, writer Marc Forster is best known for directing the films Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland, The Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace and Globe War Z wrote this screenplay with Sean Conway (Tv serial Ray Donavan and Shameless). ALL I SEE IS Yous is a theme with challenge to any author: these tow men almost meet that challenge but seem to get lost in the procedure. The result is a very long, boring, cinematographer's holiday (Matthias Koenigswieser) near the world we see and the earth we don't see. Despite the presence of some fine actors the motion-picture show is ho-hum and loses the audience subsequently near thirty minutes of blurry (but colorful!) versions of the world passing by the optics of a blind girl.
Apparently blinded since childhood when a hideous machine-crash price her her parents and her eyesight (a fact that is never explained - we must guess that is the instance), beautiful Gina (Blake Lively) scarcely leaves their home in Bangkok, Thailand and is dependent on her attentive and doting husband, James (Jason Clark), who is her everything: her protector, her guide, and the sole intermediary with the exterior globe and who has never known the sighted Gina, and wants to make a baby. Medicine intervenes, a cut-edge merely highly experimental cornea transplant By 1 Dr. Hughes (Danny Huston) promises to restore Gina's vision, at least to her correct center--and when the bandages come off suddenly unexplored colors and senses brainstorm to appear to her. But she is dependent on steroid drops in her eyes to assure the transplant takes. As a result, Gina will see her husband and her unknown reflection in the mirror for the first fourth dimension, she befriends an unwanted domestic dog, makes friends with domestic dog walker cum sensual interest (Wes Chatham), and with fourth dimension and some distance from James and an odd visit to her Barcelona sister Carla (Ahna O'Reilly) and her artsy husband Ramon (Miquel Fernández) Gina becomes pregnant (though James has discovered he is sterile!), and her vision is altered once again - the reason is only suggested. And then the picture show ends.
Chunks of the story are missing (?intentionally?) and the constant cinematic version of the world through almost bullheaded optics becomes as tiring to the audience equally it must to the patient with altered eyesight. In that location are some odd sidebars of Gina playing the guitar with a immature girl, surreal shots of Bangkok, foreign Southward&G scenes unexplained that keep our attention at times. The concept regarding blindness and how information technology affects the victim are sound. It is the delivery of the 'story' that begs editing.

Insecure man needs a handicapped women to feel justified
Warning: Spoilers
Seems like half of the reviewers here failed to notice, that this motion picture was non about the feminist propaganda or the egocentric lifestyle of a 21s century women pursuing their own dreams and desires, simply well-nigh the realization that the but reason this couples relationship worked was considering Gina was in a very vulnerable state, handicapped, totally relying on her husband taking care of her 24/7, and the lamentable realization that her husband would do anything to get her dorsum to that vulnerable state again, by changing her eyedrops, so that she would go bullheaded once again, and past taking the dog away in a very roughshod manner tying her to a tree, just so that she couldn't go outside anymore to take some fun. I found this deep story of the movie totally icky, merely at the same time utterly cute, because this is reality, relationships and marriages are oftentimes total of egoistic desires, and oppressions, lies and manipulations...even though I understand with the female character Gina I plant her behavior totally disgusting as well, she apparently got knocked up past that other dude, since her husband was told past the physician that he couldn't father a kid. Ally by all, wonderful movie, with a wonderful message, but I would rather call it a drama instead of a thriller.

wtf? No no no no...just no.
Warning: Spoilers
Not really any believable story here, or at least non one any normal person would want to watch. I'll sum it upwards. Start moving-picture show- Nice blind woman and squeamish homo love each other. Adult female regains sight. Nice woman turns into bad person. Nice man turns into bad person. Woman does bad things. Man does bad things. They hate each other. Man dies Woman has baby. WHAT TF? WHY TF would I want to watch this mess? It'due south just another episode of Murry Povich or Jerry Springer, merely I guess in that location are lots of people who like that kind of trash.

Awakening to reality of inner selves
I am then glad that I did not fool past the imdb credits over again. Misleading and being very unfair to decent viewers. Director Marker Forster made a very skilful job by this extraordinary movie. Deeply touched to my soul. There is much more and then words in the film. Makes you being part of information technology. Information technology is non easy to describe. When y'all start to watch y'all will realize you are more and then a viewer. It is very a poetic moving picture in every manner. Let's yous fly to inner sides but at the aforementioned time wakes you up with some shocking truths however every time you jump kindly puts you lot down delicately again as if y'all are the sensetive baby of this cruel world.
The moving picture photography is marvelous. I of the reviewers describe similar eye-candy. I surely totally agree with him/her.
I quite enjoyed this psychological marriage drama but surely it is more then that. This is a picture show you tin sentinel over and over again with same pleasance. I would like to give thanks the manager once again for such a good writing and exposing. Besides cast was very successful indeed. One of the best motion picture of last decades

hard to experience relationship
Gina (Blake Lively) is happily married to James (Jason Clarke). She's blind since babyhood. She has surgery to restore his eyesight. Its success lead to trouble in her marriage and her life.
Director Marc Forster wants to say something compelling about the human condition. Information technology'south hard to see real humanity in these characters. It'due south lots of blurry muddle and I don't mean her vision. I don't sympathise their relationship or their conflict in terms of existent homo existence. It's confused going in and confused coming out. Well, it's stylish anyways.

Flick with a quasi ending ?
If y'all 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 fourth dimension for her. And then the plot was so muddled you didn't know what was going on half the time. I like a expert mystery and cocked films just this one just leaves you befuddled. And good luck deciphering the ending because that was the biggest mystery of all....altogether a disappointing film.

Underwhelming end product every bit well equally a misfire
I only came to the cognition of this flick'southward existence by browsing through Blake Lively's IMDB page, and was frankly shocked to see the unbelievably low number of votes (in the 600s at this time). Even more than so, I was flabbergasted when I saw that this film carries a product budget of $30M and only managed less than $1M in its limited theatrical run. Usually these numbers point a huge flop acquired by universal dislike from the critics and the full general audience, but judging by the ridiculously small amount of votes here, the complete lack of exposure of whatever kind it indicates, and the mediocre scores, this is likewise not the instance. Curious, I watched this film, and now I think I can come across why.
All I See Is You is an underwhelming picture with a weak story and is also a creative misfire, in the sense that information technology does not present itself in any manner as a coherent package with a conspicuously defined target audience. Equally a drama movie, the motion picture'south mainstream appeal is clearly far from broad, and information technology isn't anywhere shut to being experimental or avant-garde (not to mention no sane producer/investor would greenlight a arthouse production at even i/x of the budget of this 1).
Narratively the story is loosely written with a slow pace (specially in the outset) that doesn't allow the film to get together much momentum. When the screen isn't showing you a scene that's clearly a part of the main storyline, I couldn't even define if what I was watching was going to exist developed into a subplot, or if it'due south just a random scene depicting a random minutiae that fills the screen time. I did not scout this movie expecting that I'd be hugely entertained, but information technology should take been obvious to the filmmakers that intercutting narratively unimportant scenes with random flashbacks is clearly insufficient to go on the audience interested, when the principal storyline is and so thin. When moments of drama finally arrive, they lack the originality, or the artistic punch that comes with a well thought-out, well executed plot point, to actually surprise and satisfy viewers. There'south hardly any momentum building as the story progresses, which explains the lack of tension I felt when the flick reached its supposed climax.
Visually, this moving-picture show simply contains too many shots where the cinematographer seems to be trying very difficult to bring to the screen the blind girl'south view of the earth, all in a very impressionist and therefore distracting way. In my opinion this was overkill, and it ended up creating an overall await that's more gimmicky than beautiful.
Information technology also conveyed a sense of alienation to me, as it made me want to talk to the screen, 'hey, I'thou not blind, that'south why I'm watching this, so could you delight finish showing me what the world may seem from the blind girl'due south perspective (not to mention that that perspective should be pitch blackness if she was actually blind) show me something that's really interesting, like the actual story.'
Instead, one tin can edit out all the shots of this blazon in this motion picture, put them together, and y'all'd become a fine contender for "32 potentially interesting short clips for my Windows Os screensaver" or "video to play on the big screen at a Blur concert". It wears off rather apace and becomes wearisome later on the initial novelty. I besides detect that parts of the soundtrack to be at odds to what the scenes were trying to portray.
With a medium sized upkeep for a drama motion picture at $30M (which means the producers were obviously expecting a wide theatrical release and for the film to not be a flop for that kind of release, in order to stand a hazard at turning a profit), some of these creative decisions are simply baffling.
In fact, you tin go bank check the production budget for most of 2017's Oscar bait films, similar 3 Billboards, Lady Bird, The Shape of Water etc, and these films all have roughly the same level of production upkeep every bit All I See Is Y'all. It really is mind-boggling. I'm not maxim the end product is too generic. In fact, I do doubtable that, had the movie been made in a more by-the-book standard Hollywood style, it likely would have gotten a amend result.
Well, it can hardly get worse than the current situation, where the box function is practically negligible against the costs. I withal find it really hard to believe the number of votes here, which suggests that practically nobody except those who literally came across it/stumbled upon it take seen this, which is quite ridiculous, and as a Blake Lively fan, I don't even know how she would feel about accepting this function as the follow up to 2016's surprise hit The Shallows.
I become information technology that the very thought of 'what if a bullheaded girl recovers her sight somehow, and discovers that the world isn't quite as she thought it was' is a novel one and has potential, but that idea Solitary can only support a curt film, granted it tin exist a very interesting xv infinitesimal vignette if done well. The filmmakers simply failed to aggrandize on the central premise here, and what we get is a feature length motion-picture show that is a bore to sit through.
