Wonderful character development!
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
What a surprise gem this turned out to be! It's very rare for every aspect of a movie to happen exactly the way I want it to - there are usually things I wish they'd done differently - but with this one I wouldn't change a thing. It left me feeling utterly satisfied, happy, and somewhat in love with the two lead actors!The whole film hinges on the exquisite chemistry between the two main characters, who don't share any screen time until the final few minutes. And they pull it off beautifully. It is one of the most romantic films I've seen, yet manages to avoid any schmaltz or sentimentality. It's just honest, natural, and tender - quite an achievement considering that the engine driving the narrative is basically supernatural phenomena! I stumbled across this movie quite by accident, and I'm very glad I did.
I am a sucker for romance and this one really just blew me away. I knew it would be good but I didn't expect it to tug at my heart strings this much. It is a truly dazzling movie with amazing acting, especially from the female lead. I immediately googled everything else she has ever been in immediately following this movie.I didn't find the plot hard to follow at all and I was really holding my breath at times, the dialogue and the connection between the two characters is just so beautiful. I also find anything where mental illness is involved to be very intriguing.The only reason I am not giving it a perfect score is because I really wish she hadn't actually been married, I think it would have been less messy if that controlling dude was just her long time boyfriend or fiancée. It complicated matters that he was her husband, especially with that rushed ending. I suppose the only point is that they end up together and I definitely shed tears of joy when they finally embraced, but "disappearing into Canada" was a little too easy of an ending for me and not very believable. In this day and age it is nearly impossible to just drop off the grid like that, especially when one of you is married and neither of you even have any money.But regardless of the rushed ending, it is a truly spectacular movie. I found the plot to be very fascinating and original. The emotions of the characters ran deep with me. Would definitely watch again.P.S. Watch closely, one of the angry thugs from the bar is Simon from 7th Heaven! Totally unrecognizable!
I accidentally came across the movie as a suggestion when I was finding movies similar to the last movie I saw. One of the best discoveries I have made so far and I don't even know why this movie wasn't commercially promoted. The movie is about two lost souls who finally get the meaning of life after they form a perpetual bond via telepathy. Living in separate states the two first feel the connection at their early childhood only.They couldn't apprehend back then until one day out of exasperation Rebecca Porter (the lead) utter aggressively "stop this" to herself.Dylan Kershaw (the lead) hears her thought transference and reckons the voice as one of his own thoughts. When he responds something he gets a reply which eventually makes both of them believe that they are actually talking to real person and can hear and feel each other through telepathy.The movie follows light-hearted and cheery plot-line making viewers to nervously anticipate their happy ending together.The plot follows series of instances which strengthen their bond make them realize how happy they are when they are talking.Even though this movie has low budget but the backdrops are b'ful and serene.Besides funny moments the movie also has emotionally intense element Usually endings like this movie has leave me wanting for closure but this was the best ending for a movie like this.No one knows even in reality whether a happy ending is even a happy ending.You will like this movie even if you are not into rom-com because its much more than that. I regret not to have found this movie before and a little annoyed because not many people know about this wonderful movie.PS- Both the leads are treat to eyes.
The lead roles seem like they were written especially for Zoe Kazan and Michael Stahl-David. Five minutes with them and I couldn't picture anyone else playing their characters. Zoe Kazan, especially, took my breath away.The movie captures the magic of the story quite well, and the pacing is excellent. I appreciated the director's willingness to stay with the main characters, instead of trying to develop secondary characters. Nothing fancy about the camera work or the storytelling. They told the story and they got the job done."In Your Eyes" is a great example of this genre, and if you don't see it, the rest of us will know.
