5.0 out of 5 stars Nuanced, Entrancing Indie Gem, Straithairn, Gillies shine !!!, September 9, 2008
By Paul B. Roisum "ZenPablo" (On The Beach,U.S.V.I. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Sensation of Sight (DVD)
The previous writer does give away too much. A Sweet film that reveals more meaning with each viewing. I've seen this gem a half a dozen times and it does not disappoint with repeated viewings. Instead it rewards you with it's subtle nuanced craftsmanship and vision The ensemble cast hits on all cylinders. Straithairn is brilliant in a dark,yet somehow comic departure from some of his more stereotypical roles. Daniel Gillies is electric. There is nothing here to indicate the shoestring budget, beautifully filmed by award winning cinematographer Christophe Lansberg .First time writer / director Aaron Weidersphann brings together the whimsy of Capra, the pathos of Wes Anderson and the biting wit of Charlie Kaufman to this must see Indie delight. Like a sumptuous feast for the spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Film to Savor, September 2, 2008
This review is from: The Sensation of Sight (DVD)
I found this film to be poetic, thoughtful, and beautifully shot. It invites you from the very beginning to slow down and experience an intricately layered story on its own terms. Strathairn gives an amazing performance as a troubled English teacher searching for answers to a tragedy he's witnessed, and the rest of the excellent cast--Jane Adams is my favorite--help lead him toward the healing he seeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprise Gem of a Film, August 26, 2008
This review is from: The Sensation of Sight (DVD)
This film depicts, in many facets, the human spirit finding release. It's funny, alarming, deeply moving, whimsical. It's beautifully shot. The ensemble cast is striking, and David Straithairn may snag his Oscar for this one. B.Marie
