An original film that raises some interesting questions about perception. I can't help but think that the love story side of it gets in the way somewhat when really all they needed to do was concentrate on the main storyline, which in the end isn't really explored thoroughly enou... read more
I have no idea why Val Kilmer tried to pretend he was Batman....when it's obvious this is what he should be doing. Great work by him. A sad story. And a great Steven Weber stealing the show....that guy is gold
At first Sight is about seeing life as it is and being content with your situation despite the imperfections of it.

A trite romantic melodrama about a blind masseuse who regains his sight. Based on a true story.
It was a cheesy movie and I would have liked it if they would have explored further in depth about how seeing isn't all it seems when all you've known is being blind. Interesting, but not a great movie.
Kilmer registers little emotion aside from a silly grin he perpetually wears throughout the film. Full Review
At first sight this film is terrible. At second sight, it's even worse.
At First Sight, at second sight, at third sight - it doesn't matter how many times you look. This movie never decides what it wants to be.
Though derived from a true story chronicled by Dr. Oliver Sacks in his 1996 book "An Anthropologist On Mars," "Sight" always seems closer to soap opera than case study. Full Review
Com o perdão do trocadilho, era melhor não ter visto este filme. Full Review
A romantic drama with insights into seeing with the heart and not trying to control the other person. Full Review
The two leads have never been more appealing. Full Review
It's OK. It should not be fiscally encouraged, however. It's the greatest sin of Hollywood - competent but forgettable filmmaking.
Regrettably plays more like a soap opera than a real-life story. Full Review
