Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Where was the advertising for this movie? It really deserved a bigger audience. I urge you to watch and pass it on word of mouth. It's a beautiful study in human dynamics - taken to the extreme. Nothing in either characters behavior is really all that surprising or unexpected, with the obvious exception to his deceitful betrayal and response to what he considers as his world unraveling. Something perhaps a bit of therapy might have avoided had the surgeon seen fit to foresee likely problems and recommend it. Not that far of a stretch. When one person has been a full time caregiver for another, and is suddenly now no longer "needed" in that capacity it can truly mess with your head, strange as that may sound. We humans are complex creatures and we find our patterns, no matter how tragic in nature or origin, to be quite comfortable especially over time. It becomes what we know, and somehow what we tend to cling to, even in the face of obvious and contrary reason. Blake Lively continues to impress. She has hidden depths which I am happy to see being portrayed in more serious subject matter. I fully expect to see even better roles for her in future. A nice HBO or Netflix limited series would place her front and center in the public's eyes and give her a place to shine. I hope she gets it. I rated this movie a 9, but I may as well have rated it a 10; I honestly don't know anything that held me back. Hindsight. Go figure. I suppose contemplating "perfection" is always daunting. I hope you enjoy this journey, for a journey it most certainly is.

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...

What can you say about a movie with a cool premise, good performances, creative direction, decent soundtrack, and above average cinematography? Let's start with the biggest misnomer because this a mystery but there really isn't any mystery here. In fact the only mystery that I found was where the mystery was! The reoccurring theme of the POV shot from Gina cwith a blinking eye got real old throughout the entire movie. Maybe I'm just sore because they took a good idea, and in my opinion ruined it. In my opinion this movie is only barely watchable and it's too bad because I like Blake Lively. In spite of the performances, this movie just fall short.

This is a really good film. I really really loved it and I don't get all the negative reviews. I didn't get bored at all and it totally made sense from the beginning till the end. That being said, it's not for everyone. You have to be a little bit more mature and have had serious relationships in the past to understand it. It evolves more around Gina and James' marriage and its evolution after she restores her sight and tries to find her true self, now that she has the power to choose her clothes, make up, hobbies etc. You can see the characters evolve in front of your eyes in an absolutely realistic way, you can even relate to them, feel their agony, theis fears and understand their actions. Blake Lively shines in this film. She's more charming han ever. Jason's lark performance is very nice too. After all, I think James' (Jason Clarks') evolution and reactions in the film are the most interesting part of all.
