Summary: Another stinker movie for Judd
Review: This movie was terrible. The plot really did not make sense and the acting was awful. If I were you, I would not waste my time. But if you must, watch it on HBO, ok?

Summary: You'll want to like this movie but you will not be able to
Review: This is really bad, not campy fun bad, badly written bad, badly edited bad cheating you out of theatre admissiion bad! And I wanted to like, I tried to, I tried to excuse the nonsense plot and the absurd twists....I mean Ewan McGragor, k.d. Lang and Ashley Judd.... but that damned little dead girl who shows up on film and this plot twist just fades away....and Genvieve Bujold is in it.... such talent all wasted! Why not just give the money to me! This is unredeemably awful!

Summary: One In A Million!
Review: This movie is WOW! To me at least..:) OK, if you must know, then this movie is definitely not for anyone! Ever heard of Einstein's Relativity? It's something like that LOL ;) Only few have what it takes to see that depth of beauty & sorrow it convey. I read half of the novel & never finished it.. It's NOTHING like this intense great directed movie! & choosing signs like Pisces, Scorpio & Taurus for each character, added much dimentions & meanings to the whole package! Last but not least the Sountrack.. Superb!

Summary: Far From Entertaining
Review: Let me start on a few positive notes. This is a nicely filmed movie, as seen on DVD. Visually was interesting and very well done. The acting was also not too bad. Therefore, I gave it one star.

However, those the only positive attributes to this mess of a movie. It was an agonizing two hours of cinema. Yes, I did watch the whole film because I refuse to make judgements on only the first parts of a film. Plus, I was hoping that it would get a little more interesting. Needless to say, It didn't. It crawled along at an excruciatingly slow pace from one city and event to the next. Also, I felt like there was no tension being built or maintained throughout.

In addition, the little girl in the film, though needed, just annoyed me to no end and made the film that much more difficult to get through.

Basically, do not rent or purchase "Eye of the Beholder"...............EVER. If you want have an experience that is comparable to this movie, get a snowglobe (which, I must admit, this movie does use as a nice transitional item), shake it and stare for two hours.

Summary: A very original and touching love story
Review: I'm quite surprised by the very low rating this movie got from many reviewers. I saw it two months ago, and was touched enough to saw it again the next day. I consider it to be among the best movies I saw this year. Of course, contrary to many thrillers, the movie is not focused on action only, but on psychology and feeling. It's a strange and touching love story between a woman murdered, and an investigator, who becomes her gardian angel. For once, it shows a serial killer as a human person, haunted by the past and able to evolve; and it shows an investigator able to identity with the person he haunts, and trying to save her. This movie is full of compassion and humanity. If you look for a classic dumb thriller, you will be disapointed. I you look for a very original love story, your curiosity will be fully rewarded. The actors are great. The scenario is very original. The realization itself carries many interesting touchs, such as the snow globes that Ewan Mc Gregor collects while following Asley Judd... I definitively highly recommend this movie to any sensitive and intelligent people, who do not just want pre-formated stories with classical endings. Do yourself a favor: be curious.

Summary: I think it's a sad love story
Review: I like the movie. I like the theme song very much. Can somebody be so kind to tell me what the song title is? It has the lyrics of "I wish you love ....". My e-amil address is "[e-mail]". I appreciate it if somebody knows the song and can tell me more about it.

Summary: A waste of 2 hours.
Review: I rented this movie because I like Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor. I am very sorry I did. The movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. Stay away from this movie. Buy Double Jeopardy instead.

Summary: Strange movie
Review: This movie was very strange. The preformances of Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor were good. But I didn't understand what was going on. Even at the end it was left unresolved and the audience was left hanging. It was kind of an interesting story, but it just kept going around in circles. It didn't go anywhere.

Summary: I wish I had read the reviews before.
Review: Nothing saves this pretentious film. I heard some of the director's commentary that comes in the DVD so that I could be somewhat comforted with the idea that I had missed the point of the film... useless though. I didn't miss its point, it is just a mediocre, boring, non-entertaining film. I can't believe the guy at the video store recommended it... . I can't believe it, he must be a very sick person.

Summary: this was the least nuber of stars I could give
Review: How I wish I would have checked Amazon's reviews before wasting two full hours on this movie. It's almost like a traffic accident in that you want to see what happens till the end, unfortuntally nothing ever did happen. Everyone involved with this film should have to write us each an appology note. My husband picked "Eye" out to watch durring a snow storm...he is now BANNED from the video store. Please for the love of intelegent film pass this one up!
