Love Is Blind

This romantic comedy is quite different from the rest, so I have to give it credit. However, the plot is scientifically implausible, so the scientist part of me couldn't enjoy the film as much as I would have liked.

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.

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).

I thought i would see something like Amelie when it started. But this was not at all anything like that. The characters were so fake. No one was real feeling to them except maybe the doctor. Yes, you would argue that this was done deliberately to make the movie magical. But no it didn't do it for me. There are many ways making the movie magical without making the characters weirdos... again Amelie is such a good example of it... anyways, judge it for yourselves..

I'd have enjoyed this much more without the so cheezy dialogues.
