Love Is Blind

....as those who cannot see. Fabulous concept and wonderfully filmed. Great acting by all. A shout out for the soundtrack as well which complimented the cinematography like ham and eggs. Do I recommend it? You bet.

It is a very slow and weird movie. The concept is not something that is relatable. Some of the acting was good but that can't save a movie that very few people will find interesting. I really wanted to like this as I have enjoyed some of Aidan's other work. I completely understand why this took so long to come out and why it never made it to the theaters (at least in the USA).

The 8.3 rating is very misleading. The film is very slow and didn't quite capture the imagination. The characters were not believable and therefore it didn't grab me at all. I didn't quite understand how they casted the family, who looked a lot younger than they were supposed to be. The music didn't make it much better, often reminding me of a scene out of Home Alone, completely out of kilter with the emotional depth they were trying to portray. This obviously appeals to the bots that rated it 10/10, due to its robotic storyline.

The plot is all over and the idea of she not seeing others didnt make much sense, neither we knew why she was "blind" nor was this blindness feasible. I am afraid this movie will leave you in the dark.

After waiting ages for this movie (and several title changes) I was happy to finally watch. The trailer gave no doubt this was an intriguing concept. The locations are beautiful (Hudson Valley?), the acting is good, especially Aidan Turner and Shannon Tarbet (Irish and British) playing Americans. Their American accents were very believable! The concept of literally not being able to see someone who is right in front of you is unusual, but it works in this movie! I can't wait to watch it again. I think that if a movie leaves you wanting more and you keep thinking about it, then that is a good movie.

We've been waiting a long time for this film to come to us. First it was called "Look Away"..in 2015. Then it was changed to Beautiful Darkness. We waited in anticipation for 3-4 years for this to move through post production, to find a distributor and to get a release date. We poured over unofficial trailers. And still most of the world outside the UK is waiting to see it....Personally, I was not disappointed. I was waiting up at midnight on the 25/3/19 in the UK to see it. The best of indie style film making with glorious cinematography. In essence a good old fashioned love story around the premise of falling in love with someone who you can't see. Except the Princess is a Prince in Aidan Turner, destined never to be seen by his true love and each character is marooned in a lake of their own self made loneliness and isolation. But throughout there is hope, the idea of altered perception in each and everyone of us... where we only choose to see what we want to see....and the very real dilemma of being careful for what you wish for.....Finally, we all need a tree house just like that one.... It's a real gem of a film ... made out of human foibles, weaknesses, hidden strengths and belief in others.... Special shout-outs to a recreation of Buster Keaton and to Ferris Bueller in a head bandage. Here's to all that is Dark in All of Us.

The initial parallel trajectory of the characters takes getting used to. Like driving through road construction with lanes divided by barriers. Paying thoughtful attention as the narrative unfolds rewards an open mind. There are many layers to discover hidden treasures. This film is a diamond in the rough.
