There wasn't a lot of buzz surrounding Blake Lively and Marc Forster's All I See Is You since it debuted at last year's TIFF, but that doesn't mean much. Lively has proven her box office mettle on both The Age of Adaline and The Shallows, two movies that couldn't be more different. Now we'll see how she fares in a relationship drama that pairs her up on screen with Jason Clarke.
Lively plays a blind woman whose sight suddenly returns, which might sound like great news for her and her husband, but it actually causes a lot of things to go wrong. Mo' vision mo' problems. Here's the synopsis:
Gina (Blake Lively) and husband James (Jason Clarke) have an almost perfect marriage. After being blinded as a child in a nearly fatal car crash that claimed her parent’s lives, Gina depends on James to be her eyes—a dependence that appears to solidify their passionate relationship. She sees her world in her own vivid imagination with help from James’ descriptions. Despite her disability, the two enjoy a colorful existence in Bangkok, Thailand where James works in insurance and Gina explores life in a foreign country. It seems the only real hardship this loving couple faces is difficulty conceiving a child but when Gina is given the opportunity to have a corneal transplant and regains her vision, their life and relationship are upended. Gina now sees the world with a new sense of wonder and independence which James finds threatening. It is only when Gina suddenly begins to lose her sight again that she finally realizes the disturbing reality of their marriage and their lives.
All I See Is You opens October 27th.
