Review by Guifré Margarit i Contel | 08 February 2025
This Dutch drama excels in its technical approach, as it immerses the audience into the first-person experience of the newly visually impaired protagonist via the use of tight shots that make us blind to her surrounding and a slightly heightened sound mixing in little details that enhances the boosted senses.
The lead performance by Aiko Beemsterboer and her personal journey depicted in the film stand out, making for a compelling narrative.
However, the presentation of the visually impaired institution is only somewhat effective (do they really allow you to go that crazy in such places?), and the portrayal of the outside world, especially the family, feel lacking. The symbolic elements, presented through dreams also feel unnecessary and overexplanatory.
