    Loved it!

    Very well acted and directed, charming storyline. Couldn't stop watching. I'm glad I stumbled upon it

    If ONLY..great film for an unlikely idea

    I loved the actors and the story. Yes this is far-fetched but then again look how lazy some companies are when they treat their employees like the bots they make operate.( Could happen if I believed there weren't people watching all the watchers. ) Still I enjoyed this unique spin on a story thats as sweet as rom coms are silly. This worked for me.

    Great theme turn out to be cheap

    Venice award winning ? Yes, the theme perfeftly matches and deserves, but not the way it turned out as I found it cheap. I'm film lover and don't want to be critic... Good film but must be said its overrated.

    The film didn't draw me into the story well in the begging. Tempo was little slow and it ended just as imagined.

    Regrettable as this could have been legendary masterpiece in term of the storyline with huge scale.

    Very well acted and directed

    I must admit that I'm extremely surprised this film was ever made. If someone pitched the idea to me I doubt I would have went for it.

    Perhaps that's why I was so impressed. If I had to narrow down all the things I loved about this story, I would have to start with the exceptional acting. This easily could have flopped with any other cast. Even though I didn't recognize a single actor from previous roles they all came off as seasoned pros. Perhaps that is due to exceptional directing, writing and editing. I can't say. All I can say is that I was unexpectedly drawn into this story and the very convincing characters.

    A very original love story

    Despite a rather outlandish scenario, this movie just works. The actors, while perhaps not the most charismatic, deliver genuine and credible performances.

    • Quotes

      Blind man with a cane: Ask me any question, young man. I'll always have an answer. That's why I don't have any friends!

      [laughs]

      Blind man with a cane: Do you have another question for the professor today?

      Gordon: I'm pretty busy right now, I'm just gonna get you back to were you need to go, and then I'll be on my way, ok?

      Blind man with a cane: Talking's not going to slow us down, son. Go on, ask me.

      [pause]

      Gordon: Ok, I have a question for you. How do you know if a woman it's right for you?

      Blind man with a cane: There is only one way to know if a woman is right for you. First... you have to smell the side of her neck... just a little bit under her ear... and see how that makes you feel. Then, you have to kiss her... she has to kiss you... and see how that makes you feel... only then you should be worrying about talking.

      Gordon: Smell, kiss, caress. Then you start talking.

      Blind man with a cane: Ideally, yes. But if the smell, the caress and the kiss don't work, don't bother talking. It's useless. It'll never work. Your words will be pointless. Did I answer your question?

      [pause]

      Gordon: I don't know.
