Sight Reviews
Very competent, Greg Kinnear's nice in a supporting role, but not sure it'll have the same legs [as Sound of Freedom].

Director Andrew Hyatt puts him [Dr. Wang] in a movie that just doesn’t know how to show his story beyond the click-points of a self-serious, true-story-based narrative that reeks of lazy filmmaking.

āSightā is a superb example of how refreshing it can be to see a production where the only collisions are cultural clashes and the explosions are the result of explosive new ideas.

It is certainly an eye-opener and a beautifully made film that reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit.

If this filmic journey of "Sight" doesn't make you alternately laugh and cry, and make you swell with emotion, then you simply do not have a heart.

Sight is more than just a movie about Dr. Ming Wang and his amazing achievements in sight restoration. Itās an exploration of darkness and light.

...inherently compelling subject matter that’s squandered by Hyatt right from the get-go...

This crowd-pleaser about a groundbreaking eye surgeon struggling to emerge from the darkness of the Cultural Revolution is heartfelt, if a bit too pat.

A film that goes into detail, and that is undoubtedly predictable, but that gives a lot of personal and divine reflection, how to find the inner light and what fills us as humans. [Full Review in Spanish]

Sight has a profound message to convey, that being - “There is more to Life than what you see.”

Every superhero has a back story, and this earnest biopic traces (Dr. Ming) Wang’s unlikely rise, along with the tragedies that fueled his ascent to the top of his field.

Scenes are played for maximum emotionality, with only the occasional glimpse of earthy authenticity. This approach feels very pushy, and would have had more impact if it let the audience discover the themes themselves.

It's moving, and it's an inspiring faith based adult drama that provides a bit of maturity if you're sick of over the top action movies or silly animated features.

“Sight” has a genuine hero in Dr. Ming Wang, and his story is well-served here.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 27, 2024
The emotional depth of Sight balances science and faith, inspiring viewers with themes of family and friendship. Dr. Ming Wang's journey from oppression in China to becoming a legendary eye surgeon in America is a testament to perseverance and courage.

Hyatt is a powerhouse of faith filmmaking, but this one is marred by a weak script with many confusing flashbacks. Still, itās one heck of a tale.

Based on a potentially fascinating true story, Sight is proof that inspirational source material is no substitute for engaging storytelling.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 24, 2024
While the back and forth among flashbacks involving different stages of the hero's life can be confusing and distracting, this is still a wonderfully touching and movingly uplifting film with a marvelous, triumphant performance by Terry Chen.

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.

Wang’s life makes for a remarkable story; a pity this slow, oddly muted movie doesn’t do it justice.
