Critics Consensus

More interested in the psychology of psychics than the veracity of their craft, Look Into My Eyes is an entertaining documentary that finds humanity in the supernatural.

What will likely make “Look Into My Eyes” emotionally moving and surprisingly so is Ms. Wilson’s approach to her subjects. She captures them in a strictly observational and almost clinical fashion.

Whether or not you believe these psychics are communing with the dead—or, in one case, with the spirits of still-living animals—the interactions with their clients feel genuinely emotional in a way that is hard to dismiss entirely.

Human connections are gifts, imagination is powerful and empathy isn’t a trick. These are the things “Look Into My Eyes” patiently communicates to us from its watchful perch.

7.5/10

Rather than probing them for information regarding the truth behind their techniques, she lets them speak for themselves, to tell her what they know and what they believe in.

A-

Director Lana Wilson captures the isolationism of the psyche as it plays out in Hannah Buck’s spot on editing. The film is reminiscent of the style of documentarian Frederick Wiseman, and that is great praise.

Look Into My Eyes is challenging on multiple fronts – and fascinating too.

Honestly, most of these people struck me as carnival cold readers. I think this would be much more interesting with a different group of psychics. I do agree with the woman who said "it's the healers who need the most healing". It does seem like these psychics need more therapy than their customers.

I don't believe any of these people are psychic mediums.

Loved how it explores loss. People see psychics because they are looking for deeper meaning. Most of us realize there is a deeper meaning, but don't explore the depths. These folks dive right in. So admirable. My favorite part was when she said "because you could handle it".

A waste of six dollars. I was really, really disappointed in this documentary. I should have read the reviews outside of rotten tomatoes first. I am really interested in the subject matter, but this was just a boring nothing burger of a documentary. It had no structure, it felt very haphazard. I didn’t relate to any of the “psychics“.Do not recommend.
