It's the kind of total miscalculation that can only be cooked up by a writer of real skill and passion, going all in on a spectacularly bad idea. Go to Full Review

Think of it as a rom-com version of The Shining, or Nicholas Sparks on a macro-budget. Go to Full Review

The setup never really matures beyond a sentimental teenage fantasy with a TV-caliber climax tacked on ... Go to Full Review

In Your Eyes manages to make a grounded, effective and honestly moving romance out of a premise that on it's face seems self-consciously novel. Go to Full Review

[A] disposable but not entirely unlikable confection that feels like a first-timer's passion project and not the work of an A-list writer of Whedon's stature. Go to Full Review

A nice first step into Whedon's attempt to site his big-budget fantastical ideas into a smaller, more personal film. Go to Full Review

Anakin M Feb 14, 2018 It's a little too long and because they decided to go with more of a Romance angle as opposed to the Sci-fi one you might expect, there was only so much they could do with the idea before it started to feel repetitive. Concentrating on its characters, their relationship and how they deal with their new-found connection as it begins to have an impact on their lives, 'In Your Eyes' is more of a character-driven affair than anything else and, as such, relies heavily on its two leads. Luckily, they are very likeably played by Kazan and Stahl-David making it easy for the audience to root for them. It doesn't do much that is particularly surprising and they didn't make the most of its interesting concept, but that doesn't mean it isn't a sweet and romantic film that plays to its strengths in all the right places.

Rey R Nov 29, 2017 I loved the way he looked at her knowing that he couldn't have her.
Leia W Aug 23, 2017 Not Joss Whedon's best work (maybe his least). Also, I found much of the character progression awkward. How weird they were so quick to adapt to the confusion with little reason to believe each other. While the female lead was adorable, and the male lead was 'guy next door' handsome - I don't mind they leaned towards a shallow attraction. Though they could have made it about philosophical attributes, which they were similar in. Overall, it was a good idea with a decent ending, but I found myself being taken out of the immersion when unrealistic moments occurred without being explained. See more
