This is a watchable drama about an inspirational true story, but the script could probably have used another pass, as it’s hard not to be frustrated by the amount of wasted potential.

Instead of being a collection of medical success stories from eye surgeon Dr. Ming Wang, Sight is a sprawling, faith-based biopic of Wang. There are good performances, but about half of the movie consists of too many flashbacks to his youth.

Very competent, Greg Kinnear's nice in a supporting role, but not sure it'll have the same legs [as Sound of Freedom].

Director Andrew Hyatt puts him [Dr. Wang] in a movie that just doesn’t know how to show his story beyond the click-points of a self-serious, true-story-based narrative that reeks of lazy filmmaking.

“Sight” is a superb example of how refreshing it can be to see a production where the only collisions are cultural clashes and the explosions are the result of explosive new ideas.

This crowd-pleaser about a groundbreaking eye surgeon struggling to emerge from the darkness of the Cultural Revolution is heartfelt, if a bit too pat.

A film that goes into detail, and that is undoubtedly predictable, but that gives a lot of personal and divine reflection, how to find the inner light and what fills us as humans. [Full Review in Spanish]

Scenes are played for maximum emotionality, with only the occasional glimpse of earthy authenticity. This approach feels very pushy, and would have had more impact if it let the audience discover the themes themselves.

Hyatt is a powerhouse of faith filmmaking, but this one is marred by a weak script with many confusing flashbacks. Still, it’s one heck of a tale.

While the back and forth among flashbacks involving different stages of the hero's life can be confusing and distracting, this is still a wonderfully touching and movingly uplifting film with a marvelous, triumphant performance by Terry Chen.
