Reviews for At First Sight
Kilmer registers little emotion aside from a silly grin he perpetually wears throughout the film.

Regrettably plays more like a soap opera than a real-life story.

...a movie that allows us to view familiar landscapes with refreshment and open-mindedness...

It's OK. It should not be fiscally encouraged, however. It's the greatest sin of Hollywood - competent but forgettable filmmaking.

At First Sight contains the restoration of sight to a blind man, but is more interested in the romance between Kilmer and Sorvino.

Since January is usually the time of year that is known as the dumping ground from bad movies, At First Sight comes as a refreshing and sophisticated change of pace.
01/01/00
The two leads have never been more appealing.

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.

A wintry, truth-based, Charlyesque tale of star-crossed lovers about the titular sense lost, regained, and then lost again, i.e., double-negative-nonsense.
01/01/00
Most love scenes seem forced in 'At First Sight,' and the background music manipulates emotions without a trace of restraint.

Com o perdão do trocadilho, era melhor não ter visto este filme.

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.
