SIGHT, starring Greg Kinnear and Terry Chen, follows the inspiring true story of Ming Wang, an impoverished Chinese prodigy who flees Communist China to become a pioneering eye surgeon in America. When tasked with restoring the sight of an orphan who was blinded by her step mother, he must confront the trauma of living through the violent uprising in his youth, the Cultural Revolution.

Critics Consensus

A faith-based film with a sweetly humanist grounding, Sight blinks at delivering much tonal nuance but delivers its true inspirational tale with moving conviction.

Without looking up its real-life parallels, you could probably guess where things were headed. For some viewers, this predictability is like comfort food from a chain restaurant. For others, it’s the equivalent of cinematic dental work.

For all its predictability, “Sight” has a few surprises up its sleeve, especially when Wang discovers there’s more than one way to measure success or failure.

2.5/5

An uplifting first-generation immigrant story that embodies the essence of the American dream. Dr. Wang’s amazing true story shines through, even if the storytelling feels a bit tepid.

2.5/5

This is a watchable drama about an inspirational true story, but the script could probably have used another pass, as it’s hard not to be frustrated by the amount of wasted potential.

What you see is what you get with this straightforward and uplifting – if somewhat bland – immigrant tale.

I like the movie Sight because it is based on real events and it also transmits values and principles that are not seen in most of the movies nowadays. It is a story of perseverance, love and hope that shows that to achieve something really worthwhile and transcendental is necessary to strive to achieve any goal in life and that we are responsible for our destiny, and that despite what has happened to us in life there is still hope, especially when we seek to selflessly help others. In addition, Sight shows that things are achieved by merit not by the color of the skin and that we must fight to achieve our dreams and that we should not expect everything easy and without any cost, because if the worthwhile things were done easily anyone would do them. It is more rewarding, more enjoyable and more valuable to achieve something that has cost one.

Very good movie and inspiring! A very smart eye surgeon with big heart to help blind people all over world. He is the role model for us with determination to be successful. Overcome the past and encourage himself to do well in the present. The growing part of Dr. Ming Wang is kind of hard to understand if audience doesnt know culture revolution.
