Critic Reviews for In Your Eyes

All Critics (18) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (7)

It's the kind of total miscalculation that can only be cooked up by a writer of real skill and passion, going all in on a spectacularly bad idea.

Flavorwire
Think of it as a rom-com version of The Shining, or Nicholas Sparks on a macro-budget.

Tom Shone
Guardian
The setup never really matures beyond a sentimental teenage fantasy with a TV-caliber climax tacked on ...

Peter Debruge
Variety
At its frequent best ... it provides a potent metaphor for a life-changing relationship, cleverly literalizing the way a new romantic connection can feel like a voice in your head that you never want to stop hearing.

Jesse Hassenger
AV Club
In Your Eyes isn't a terrible film, it's just familiar, unchallenging, and generic.

April 22, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Tasha Robinson
The Dissolve
It's not a rousing success, but as a lightweight sketch drawn out to uneven feature-length, it manages to deliver a minor entry in the Whedon canon by keeping its most insightful character-driven ingredients intact.

Eric Kohn
indieWire
In Your Eyes manages to make a grounded, effective and honestly moving romance out of a premise that on it's face seems self-consciously novel.

Brian Roan
The Film Stage
[A] disposable but not entirely unlikable confection that feels like a first-timer's passion project and not the work of an A-list writer of Whedon's stature.

Simon Foster
Screen-Space
A nice first step into Whedon's attempt to site his big-budget fantastical ideas into a smaller, more personal film.

Casey Cipriani
Movie Mezzanine
It feels more like Nicholas Sparks than Joss Whedon.

Josh Bell
Las Vegas Weekly
For those unshackled by brittle cynicism and willing to play in an imaginary realm far cuter than anything Joss Whedon has come up with before, then In Your Eyes will be a warmhearted delight.

The Playlist
Whedon is beloved for his work in genre film and television ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), but he excels here with a more intimate story.
