All I see Is You, written and directed by Marc Forster

Jason Clarke is a phenomenal actor and his participation in the making of a motion picture makes it interesting, worth watching, on recent example is Chappaquiddick – reviewed here: http://realini.blogspot.com/2018/07/chappaquiddick-by-taylor-allen-and.html - a film where he plays the leading role of Robert Kennedy.

In All I See Is You, he is the husband, James, of a blind woman, Gina aka Blake Lively, who has suffered an accident when she was a child, after which she could no longer see and her parents have died.

The couple lives in Bangkok, where James takes care of the spouse who is evidently limited in her capacity to get out, walk or exercise outside the house, albeit she does swim at a pool where she meets Daniel, a dog owner that will play a vital role in the narrative.

A specialist suggests a transplant that, although in the early stages of testing and not yet confirmed as fully successful, could offer the young, beautiful patient the chance to see again.

Before this operation, the heroine rescues a small dog that is supposed to be euthanized, not because there is anything wrong with it, she is in excellent form, but because the owner cannot cope with it anymore – and is cruel and savage we can add.

The operation succeeds, at least up to a point and the former blind woman can see, through fog to begin with and then better…colors, shapes, her husband and the poor pet that she finds to be ugly.

While walking the dog in the park, she meets Daniel, who knows her from the pool and thinks she is still blind, but things have changed now and she is able to see him, his German shepherd.

Given that her pet is thirsty, unwell because of the heat – which is rendered ever more atrocious by the humidity in most tropical settings – the man invites Gina to his place, where she would be able to give the dog water and allow it to cool off and feel much better.

After the refreshing water, some attention given to the reason for this visit, just before the exit, the man starts kissing his guest, she responds, they embrace with what looks like passion – if it is not just lust – and they have sex.

While she used to have hot intercourse with her husband, the heroine has proved that she is interested in new things, she was creative, tied him to the bed, recorded their intimacy and they spoke about fantasies.

He states that he only fantasizes about her.

Meanwhile, she has erotic fancies that include others…

James and Gina have been unable to have children and another doctor that consults the specialist tells him that he has a low sperm count and therefore slim chances to become a father.

However, the spouse is pregnant soon.

Only we can suspect that Daniel is the parent of the yet unborn baby.

Trauma is mixed with the supposedly happy news of the coming infant, for the protagonist is again unable to see.

If not outstanding, this motion picture is good, in spite of the average critics ‘rating of fewer than 50 – out of 100 – and the public’s undeserved 5.3 mark.
