![]() ![]() Of course, they are convinced that having a baby will solve all of their personal problems! "Big Bad" James is shooting blanks due to low sperm count. Another bummer in the couple's relationship is that they desperately want a child, which is not forthcoming. But Gina and James bicker about whether or not they are staying in the same exact hotel room from their honeymoon, and they meet the strangest pair of in-laws imaginable in Gina's sister and her psychotic avant-garde artist husband. The couple attempts to celebrate the occasion of Gina's restored sight by traveling to Spain. "Big Bad" James hedges on his answer, turning question back on Gina. There is a defining moment in the film when Gina ask James whether he loved her more when she was blind. Instead, the film turned into a bizarre psychological thriller. The film might have been a celebration of the gift of eyesight, as clearly the film artists have some talent in the visual language of cinema. Due to the miracle of medical science, Gina has surgery that restores her sight in one eye. "Big Bad" James is the doting husband who has found his calling in life by being a caretaker to his beloved wife and relishing in her dependency. Gina is visually impaired, due to a devastating automobile accent in which her parents died and she lost her sight. ![]() The setting is Bangkok, Thailand, and the focus is on a dysfunctional marriage built around the sense of sight. "All I See Is You" is a romantic-psychological-thriller with two of the most repulsive leading characters in recent memory. Still, it is interesting and you won't hate it.but it so easily could have been a bit better. A but more subtlety would have made for a better story. Second, some of the film seemed unnecessarily crude and rather gross. First, to simulate the woman's vision, we often saw distorted views of the world.and this seemed overused and gimmicky. But here it seemed as if the film had two problems. The Iranian director, Majid Majidi did a brilliant film about this ("The Willow Tree"). The film wasn't bad at all and the notion of eye surgery actually resulting in a marital breakdown is fascinating. But after she receives eye surgery and her vision is restored, the marriage begins to show a lot of problems.and how the husband responds to it is quite strange.but interesting. Regardless, she lives with her husband and her life seems good. It would be difficult enough to live her life in a more familiar setting. I have nothing against Thailand or any other country.but it did seem odd she would live in such a difficult place in which she could become acclimated due to the language and culture. The story is oddly set in Thailand.and I really was never sure why a blind American woman would live in such a world. The idea for the story was very good but at times the execution seemed a bit flat.and the cinematographic trick seemed overused. "All I See Is You" is a film that left me a tad disappointed. ![]()
