Virgil has been blind since the age of three, and is cared for by his loving sister. Amy takes Virgil to New York, to his sister's objections, in order for him to receive a radical new treatment which will restore his sight. Though the surgery is successful, Virgil's added sense creates a whole new set of problems for him, straining his relationship with Amy. When disease once again threatens his vision, important decisions must be made, which will affect Virgil and Amy forever. [More]

Reviews for At First Sight
It's OK. It should not be fiscally encouraged, however. It's the greatest sin of Hollywood - competent but forgettable filmmaking.
...a movie that allows us to view familiar landscapes with refreshment and open-mindedness...
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.
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.
