In the lobby of the theater, one of the employees said that folks coming out of this movie thought it would be lighter and beautiful, but most were surprised to find that it was intense and depressing. "That's my kind of movie!" I said, suddenly much more excited to see it.
It was intense and depressing. Somewhat hard to watch at times, but in many ways really beautiful and haunting. The director stayed away from the cliches that might have been easy and obvious way to illustrate what Yusef was going through. Instead we get a evocative look at his psychological life before and after this sight is regained.
