Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Alex Heaton (azanti0029) Dylan is a dysfunctional low-level ex-con who in his own words has 'Disappointed everyone he ever knew.' Rebecca is a bored housewife whose life within the upper echelons of the Hampshire upper-class set is as dull as it is loveless. Married to a Doctor who already has doubts about his wife's sanity she finds a stronger connection with the person's life she can see across the country. Dylan, his life bordering on a return to crime, finds a welcome distraction in being connected to Rebecca. Both can see and hear what the other thinks and does and have in fact been connected since an accident from childhood. Will this connection prove to be their undoing or a gateway to a more soulful connection in life that both are lacking? I was recommended this film by a friend of mine and having never even heard of it before I just decided to give it a stab. Joss Whedon has woven a beautiful LOVE story with a Science Fiction element which will not make it unrelatable to a modern audience. We watch as these two people from different ends of the spectrum of society are drawn together by sharing their thoughts and feelings, not so much different as two strangers who meet on the internet (Relatable, right?) It really is such a sweet and cleverly crafted film, but the thing that makes it work is the outstanding performances of the two leads. Zoe Kazan gives a great performance as Rebecca torn between the duty to her husband and her growing feelings for the man she has never met. But it is Michael Stahl- David who is just incredible. This is an actor who is just so natural in every performance he gives and this is one of his earlier outings. He brings a sensitivity to his role rarely seen in so many similar performances giving his character layers that other weaker performers would have been unable to achieve. I predict an Oscar for his man is not very far away and I am sure we have not seen the best of him yet. Good performances are given from the supporting cast too. The film is not entirely flawless and has perhaps one music montage too many but otherwise, this is a well crafted solid film that asks for our sympathy for the characters and you would have to be an extremely hard-hearted cynic not to give it. My congratulations to everyone involved. I am already promoting this film on my social media, urging others to watch it. I loved it (But you got that right?)

dallaswhiskey I wanted to like this. I liked the premise of two unconnected people from different parts of the country having a telepathic connection. I was also excited to see it was written by Joss Whedon. I just didn't think the movie delivered.It could have done so much more with the telepathic connection. Instead what we get is an awful lot of telepathic chatting, which from the viewer's viewpoint is no different than watching two characters talking on the phone.The leads are likable enough, even though the characters are really not. Especially Becky, who keeps talking and acting as if she is sincerely trying to keep her marriage together, when she is obviously not. Maybe she is trying to convince herself. Either that or inconsistency in either writing or editing. I know I didn't believe her.It's not bad, but just a rather standard fare rom-com, when it could have been more.

Sonny Nimerah I accidentally came across the movie as a suggestion when I was finding movies similar to the last movie I saw. One of the best discoveries I have made so far and I don't even know why this movie wasn't commercially promoted. The movie is about two lost souls who finally get the meaning of life after they form a perpetual bond via telepathy. Living in separate states the two first feel the connection at their early childhood only.They couldn't apprehend back then until one day out of exasperation Rebecca Porter (the lead) utter aggressively "stop this" to herself.Dylan Kershaw (the lead) hears her thought transference and reckons the voice as one of his own thoughts. When he responds something he gets a reply which eventually makes both of them believe that they are actually talking to real person and can hear and feel each other through telepathy.The movie follows light-hearted and cheery plot-line making viewers to nervously anticipate their happy ending together.The plot follows series of instances which strengthen their bond make them realize how happy they are when they are talking.Even though this movie has low budget but the backdrops are b'ful and serene.Besides funny moments the movie also has emotionally intense element Usually endings like this movie has leave me wanting for closure but this was the best ending for a movie like this.No one knows even in reality whether a happy ending is even a happy ending.You will like this movie even if you are not into rom-com because its much more than that. I regret not to have found this movie before and a little annoyed because not many people know about this wonderful movie.PS- Both the leads are treat to eyes.

NateWatchesCoolMovies JOSS WHEDON ALERTNow that I have your attention, let's talk about In Your Eyes, a lovely little romantic/fantasy/drama written by the J Man, concerning a boy and girl who have shared a strange psychic bond over hundreds of miles since they were kids, despite never having met. Its a slightly unconventional romance, a charming, breezy little piece that took me by surprise, having known nothing about it going in except Whedon's involvement. It starts with his lovely script, laying down the bones for two adorable leads (Zoe Kazan and Michael Stahl David) to go to work. Dylan and Rebecca have never met. They live on opposite sides of the US, and lead considerably different lives. They would have nothing in common if it weren't for an odd metaphysical connection. They can periodically (and often at inconvenient times) see into each others lives like a perceptive window, complete with senses like smell, taste and touch. When they are growing up its confusing and stunted, but I imagine it blossoms along with every other attribute, and suddenly they've discovered they're not both crazy, and that there's a real person on the other end of this bewitching mutual conduit. Soon they are communicating, much to the puzzlement of everyone else in their lives, who just observes them talking to themselves like loons. Romance isn't far off, as we can well guess, and soon they are deeply in love in spite of their differences and the great gulf of distance between them. He's a troubled fellow with a criminal past, a lengthy RAP sheet and a nosy parole officer (Steve Harris). She's a mild mannered, fragile girl married to a prissy control freak of a Doctor (Mark Fuerstein). Both of their lives are continuously disrupted by their relationship until they're at the brink of crisis, and it seems the only way out is to find one a other in person. The almost supernatural aspect of their connection is treated frankly, like more of a biological anomaly as opposed to ghostly gimmicks. It can be seen as Whedon exploring the nature of love in our world, finding "the one" who is always out there, somewhere, waiting. Or are they? The real hero is his incredibly down to earth script, an easy going, hilarious and poignant piece of writing. The cast is from all walks of Hollywood and includes Nikki Reed, Shameless's Steve Howey, Richard Rhiele and a priceless cameo from Dirty Dancing's Jennifer Grey, who is starting to look like a character from Desperate Housewives. Kazan and David are just the cutest, most earnest couple I've seen in a romantic film of late. She's unsure, passionate and intuitive, he's a scrappy patchwork teddy bear and together they're perfect, capturing the essence of the relationship in a single very unique sex scene, nestled in with all of their "spiritual Skype" bonding, and eventual face to face meeting. Whedon loves his characters, right down to the bit parts and it shows. His writing is never short of sterling, and this one is another winner for him.
