When The Avengers came out in 2012, I was very surprised about how good it was and kept wondering why Joss Whedon was able to create such an awesome superhero movie. This film is one of the reasons why.The film centrals around Dylan and Rebecca, two people from very different backgrounds. Rebecca is the wife of Phillip- a very successful doctor and her life revolves around going to boring parties with her husband. Dylan is an ex-con who now works as a car wash. Their lives have a dramatic change when they realised they can see and experience each others' feelings despite being miles away from each other.The best part of this film is how well director Brian Hill juggles the transitions between the two characters. It never felt out of place or hard to catch up with, it was executed smoothly. I also love how each charcters' life is potrayed. They have their own problems and their connection doesn't make life any easier, in fact, it makes them struggled more than they have ever been. The fact that how different their worlds are along with Zoe Kazan and Michael Stahl-David's brilliant chemistry just make the duo very likeable and we can actually feel for them.The film's plot is pretty straight-forward and doesn't have any crazy plot twists, but it did a really great job building the characters and their relationships. This is something Joss has done before in The Avengers where the film centralised on characters and use them to tell the story instead of over-complicating it. Its a perfect plot as this is just a simple romance-comedy film. Not to mention the very open ending. To me the ending was great and it's best to leave things ambiguous because if it were the same old happily ever after then this film wouldn't be that good anymore.The film definitely has some problems as well. I found the major issue to be how Becky and Dylan first found out they were connected. The scene while hilarious, felt kind of fast and sloppy. I mean, if I knew there are voices in my head I would try to get rid of it ASAP because that's just scary.All in all, In Your Eyes was a great film with a perfect balance between romance and fantasy. It's not without flaws, but what more can you ask for. I would definitely recommend it to viewers who just want a good time or couples, especially if they are currently far apart. Very excited to see more from Joss Whedon.

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?)

I am a sucker for romance and this one really just blew me away. I knew it would be good but I didn't expect it to tug at my heart strings this much. It is a truly dazzling movie with amazing acting, especially from the female lead. I immediately googled everything else she has ever been in immediately following this movie.I didn't find the plot hard to follow at all and I was really holding my breath at times, the dialogue and the connection between the two characters is just so beautiful. I also find anything where mental illness is involved to be very intriguing.The only reason I am not giving it a perfect score is because I really wish she hadn't actually been married, I think it would have been less messy if that controlling dude was just her long time boyfriend or fiancée. It complicated matters that he was her husband, especially with that rushed ending. I suppose the only point is that they end up together and I definitely shed tears of joy when they finally embraced, but "disappearing into Canada" was a little too easy of an ending for me and not very believable. In this day and age it is nearly impossible to just drop off the grid like that, especially when one of you is married and neither of you even have any money.But regardless of the rushed ending, it is a truly spectacular movie. I found the plot to be very fascinating and original. The emotions of the characters ran deep with me. Would definitely watch again.P.S. Watch closely, one of the angry thugs from the bar is Simon from 7th Heaven! Totally unrecognizable!

One of my few poor ratings. It could have been a good story but they simply never really told a story. There is no sci fi in it at all, just two characters constantly talking to each other in their heads without ever exploring how or why. The ending is ridiculous.Even the idea of a love story is thwarted by the failure to provide a sense of falling in love.The actors are good, the story is one of the weakest I've seen; one I watched only in hopes of it going somewhere. Because it held my attention well enough (with only three times of fast forwarding) until I had the opportunity to be utterly disappointed with the inadequate ending, I give it a 4.
