Summary: Ashley + Ewan + terrible film = top 10 worst movies ever
Review: There have been only 3 movies in my entire life that I have walked out before the end. This is one of them and the other two films involved chimpanzees. I think chimpanzees would have made this dung heap better. How can a movie with Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor fail on so many levels? I'd rather watch late night infomercials than waste 2 hours of my life watching this again.

Summary: The way I see it.
Review: I'm [gullable] for romance. Let it be known. However, what caught my attention in Eye of the beholder was not the lovestory, but rather the portrait of McGregor's character. To look at him in his isolation made me feel like I was the voyeur at first, in the beguinning of the film, where we take part in his efforts to fight of insanity in his isolation. But then, when he finds Joanna, the woman who brings back motivation into his life, and also perhaps release from his guilt for messing up his family life, I feel myself being pulled into the story. I can really feel how important it is for him to help her. Well, anyway... Brilliantly made, excellently played. From my point of view.

As the two head toward an unavoidable confrontation, The Eye begins to see Joanna as a misunderstood and troubled individual whose actions can, and should, be excused and forgiven. Directed & Written by: the great Stephan Elliott.

Summary: This movie refutes its title
Review: I love arty, convoluted films (Mulholland Drive, Memento, etc.) but this movie is just drek. I cannot comprehend how someone as talented and unimaginably beautiful as Ashley Judd deigned to be in this piece of ... whatever it is. It defies description. Even the prospect of seeing Ashley nude again hasn't led me to watch this a second time.

Summary: For people with deep understanding
Review: This is a great movie. The actors are great, believable. The story is well explained (if you just watch it with understanding). Not that bad, actually I enjoyed it.

Summary: Snow globes & love
Review: I came upon this movie by accident, one boring night on HBO, and I was immediately sucked in. This movie is only about love and all it's aspects; loss, obsession, euphoria, illusions, and ultimately it reflects pain, but what more should life hold for us but all of that...

Summary: OH THAT MY EYES HADN'T BEHELD THIS
Review: To call this movie an abomination would be too generous! If Trashley Dudd had tied me down and defecated in my face, she couldn't have inflicted on me anything worse than this cinematic atrocity.

Summary: Bizarre, Yet Beautiful...
Review: Though the end of this film leaves much to be desired, "Eye Of The Beholder" is a suspenseful, desperate tragedy...lurching wounded along a cliff of brilliance. Despite a quite unintelligible storyline, the two leads (Ewan McGregor and Ashley Judd) somehow manage to pull off an incredibly tangible sense of longing and desolation. They are each other's salvation. We want them to save each other. They should save each other, however we never discover if this, in fact, happens. The injured film steps freely off the cliff it treads and plummets into a sudden, unexplainable ending. At first, this bothered me. Now, I don't mind. Critically, this film was impaled for not having anything to it. I don't care. What it does have is enough for me. "I wish you love."

Summary: Skip it
Review: First, let me say I'm a Ewan McGregor fan and it pains me to find fault with any of his films, but this one is a stinker. To those who feel you must be intelligent to appreciate this film I say: I have a law degree and I couldn't begin to tell you what this movie is about. Furthermore, anything you have to watch 4 times to understand is not a good movie and certainly doesn't deserve an Oscar much less your valuable time. A good director will not make it so painfully hard for anyone to try and figure out what they just spent two hours watching. I like intrigue and suspense as much as the next person, and I even like endings that are open to interpretation. This movie, however, is not satisfying in the least. It was slow, choppy, lacking in any attachment to the two lead characters and a basic waste of time. My advice is to skip it and find a movie with a real story.

Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY...
Review: While boasting an excellent cast and an intriguing plot, this film simply tanks. Ashley Judd plays the role of a black widow, a female serial killer, who systematically kills off every man she meets. Ewan McGregor is the British intelligence officer who is hot on her trail. For some incomprehensible, mumbo jumbo reason, he ends up being protective of her. In fact, incomprehensible is a good way to describe this entire film. It is poorly edited and shuffles along at a snail's pace. Despite the excellent cast, the action plods along and the movie is dead before the first body hits the ground. One finds oneself having little sympathy or empathy for any of the characters in this cinematic fiasco. Do not waste you time or your money. This one is a turkey.
