It’s a hidden gem of a movie. The husband wife relationship is perfect I wish there had been more of that. His life did equal her plight. It’s a good watch.

Seeing this film made me lament what could

Seeing this film made me lament what could have been with Bellwether Pictures. A company dedicated to small-scale stories on miniscule budgets as breather episodes after work on big-budget VFX-driven productions, now that Joss Whedon finally made it to the big leagues with The Avengers. But alas, that's not what happened and this production company might as well be defunct by now. Joss's experiences with Age of Ultron led to him leaving Marvel, the cracks in his "god among geekdom" image were starting to show in 2017 after his recently divorced ex-wife accused him of infidelity, the Justice League debacle happened and his script for a Wonder Woman movie was leaked and NOT well-received and then his dirty secrets were exposed in 2021. I bring up all that because seeing this film made me sad that, with his tainted legacy, we'll never see what kinds of micro-budget stories he could come up with. I've honestly grown desensitised these past few years to prominent personalities having shocking revelations about them revealed to the public to the point that the controversies surrounding Neil Gaiman didn't faze me at all. Luckily for most of these people, I have no problem separating art from the artist...and Whedon didn't actually direct this film anyway since he was busy with Marvel. All this to build up to the fact that...I liked In Your Eyes. It's not perfect but I did find myself preferring it over the Much Ado About Nothing film that Whedon DID direct. One such flaw, for instance, is how some of the issues could've easily been resolved if they just spoke on their mobile phones, or at least pretended to, so that they wouldn't look like schizophrenics to the people around them. Other flaws are how the psychic connection is something we just have to roll with in an otherwise grounded world, the handling of the husband came off as more sympathetic than intended in my opinion and mixed feelings about the way it ends. Maybe they were things that could be handled in a nonexistent sequel? I just thought it came off as slightly less happy than Joss intended with an offhanded mention of Canada being put in the script in case somebody asked certain questions. TL;DR That underrated Netflix show Sense8 did the "psychic connection between strangers" premise better. But make no mistake, the good does outweigh the bad. The actors do a good job, the dialogue can be quite funny at times without overdoing the wiseass crap like other Whedon scripts are accused of doing and while the plot is predictable, it's executed well enough that it still comes off as compelling rather than boring. The two leads are likeable and go through good character development resulting in a surprisingly fun, albeit still working within micro-budget confines, climax that has them using their life experiences to guide each other to what they need to do...and is surprisingly similar to the first season finale of the aforementioned Sense8. Oh my God, did The Wachowskis and JMS rip off Joss Whedon? I suppose it could've been an inspiration but I never found anything suggesting that Sense8 was being done with some film they saw at Tribeca in mind penned by, albeit not directed by, a guy in the entertainment industry on a similar wavelength as them. They did do a better job fleshing out the premise and it does have enough genre mashup to stand out. In conclusion, provided you can get past the Joss Whedon controversies and don't mind dealing with a low-budget film every once in a while, In Your Eyes is a pretty good watch and, save for Warm Bodies and Beautiful Creatures, a much better paranormal romance flick than Hollywood's attempts during the year before this movie came out when they were all trying to make the next Twilight. Really wish you behaved better, Joss. Then maybe we could've had more movies like this and even a running gag going about how any director was doomed to be stuck in your shadow since you're writing the script and they aren't. Remember what I mentioned at the beginning of this review: separate art from the artist.

I was hoping to like it less than I did given the recent Joss revelations. He still has a lot of talent and an eye for a talented cast. Wish I didn't love his work as much as I hate him.
