CGiii Comment

From the mind of Oliver Sacks and, it really is just a re-working of Awakenings.

Winkler has an impressive portfolio....but, this has to be one of his mistakes - he also likes to cast family members.

A gushy heavy-handed love story that almost induces a caustically violent vomiting fit.

Kilmer's performance is bizarre - a constantly smiling too-good-to-be-true gent.

The gay interest comes in the form of Nathan Lane as the visual therapist who plays himself.

This is a hugely interesting subject that has been dealt a dreadful hand.

The(ir) Blurb...

First Sight is true to the title from start to finish. Val Kilmer skates in the dark appears FIRST to Mira Sorvino car headlights driving lost searching for her retreat spa motel. Kilmers FIRST visual memory links him coincidently to his last. This is a true love drama with Nathan Lane providing laughs counseling visual therapy. All stars emotional vulnerability teach the audience learning love matters in art, architecture, education, parenting, massage and trees.
