YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
jb-307 You can tell simply by the negative summaries what this trash of a film is all about, how it is viewed by the public. We hate it. We want to take away the right to make any film from this writer / director, so he can never again punish us with his drivel.Look what people write about this movie: Numbing, stultifying, deadly dull. Like an overdose of L-Tryptophan. This film was so boring it made me fall asleep. Over indulgent piece of crap. Pretentious claptrap...misses by a country mile. Self-indulgent and stale.There is NO entertainment in this film. IF you want to be entertained, go to a real movie, almost any other movie. Do yourself a favor, save time and save money and avoid this like the plague it is.I am truly sorry that I am forced to give this a big 1 (awful) rating, because at most it deserves a ZERO. Unfortunately for us, IMDb doesn't allow zeros or negative numbers.
intet-navn-ledigt Well, this is kind of an odd movie. A group of people, all in some kind of emotional turmoil, meet and as the movie evolves you find out that they all have something in common. Now, I'm not good at interpreting stuff and I'm not sure if I've got this one right. But nevertheless it has touched something deep inside me. This movie is so beautiful, depicting the chaos on the inside of supposedly normal people. It has great acting, beautiful pictures and a touching story. Finally a movie without the usual drama and love stories.If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, something unique, I will recommend this movie.
peter-rinaldi I refuse to reveal anything about this movie because I want you to see it like I saw it, without any knowledge of what it was about. If you haven't seen this film yet, and are about to see it, I envy you.I loved this film so much that I couldn't even speak to my girlfriend after it was over. I was overcome with emotions that no film has ever revealed in me. My girlfriend said it was probably the best film she was ever seen (!!!!). The next week after seeing it, we brought (no exaggeration) 7 friends to see it with us again. we all sat in the theater for about 15 minutes with the lights on wiping our eyes and talking about it.I am not expecting everyone to have the same reaction I did, but a lot of these comments on this page are very oddly negative, like in a real angry way. even if it doesn't speak to you, this as a small, thoughtful, extremely well made film that doesn't deserve to be crapped on as if it was Transformers 3.If you are someone who appreciates films with REAL depth that reward your attention, are not insulting to your intelligence and that are moving in an authentic way, then you will love this film.
John Holden Imagine that a high-school drama teacher assigns each of his class members to write a script. Rules? A small town; people with various anxieties.Do whatever you like.Then, bring the cast together to exchange scripts (no editing needed); then go. So you act out someone else's script and then periodically the drama teacher points to 2 of you and says "scene" - they come together and ad lib.The Sensation of Sight isn't close to this good. It's the worst kind of semi-experimental semi-exploratory, uh, drama.It's unwatchable.Amazing though because the protagonist and others in the cast are decent actors.
