A neglected and sheltered housewife (Zoe Kazan) shares a metaphysical connection with a charismatic ex-con (Michael Stahl-David).

Jason Bailey

Flavorwire

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.

Guardian

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

Rated: 2/5

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

The Film Stage

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.

Rated: B-

Screen-Space

[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.

Movie Mezzanine

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

Rated: B+

It’s a hidden gem of a movie. The husband wife relationship is perfect I wish there had been more of that. His life did equal her plight. It’s a good watch.

the concept of having telepathy with someone across the country is interesting, but didn't think the ending was really nice. The kissing made it look like it was all put together, but looking back, not a very great ending.

I was hoping to like it less than I did given the recent Joss revelations. He still has a lot of talent and an eye for a talented cast. Wish I didn't love his work as much as I hate him.

Interest sci fi concept with a standout performance by zoey . She is absolutely perfect in these odd type of cute/innocent roles like ruby sparks I loved the first 3/4 of the movie . The last quarter seemed a bit hallmarky/cheeesy 3.2

Es divertida y tiene una buena trama, hasta tiene momentos profundos que dan para reflexionar.

An interesting premise that's somewhat squandered on a fairly anodyne Lifetime-tier romance. Writer Joss Whedon leaves too much unexplored for a concept with such potential.
