Look Into My Eyes silently acknowledges that clairvoyancy is a conversational parlour trick, a cold read of generalisations and washy comments that give off the air of paranormal connection and communication with the dead. Rather than focusing on this, Look Into My Eyes delicately shifts the observational lens onto the troubled people on both sides of this odd practise, what leads them to this line of work, the clients they serve and what this service offers for all involved. It's depressing, emotional and at times very touching, but the end message seems abundantly clear; we're all carrying so much with us in our daily lives and we'd all benefit from an outlet to process this baggage, even if that is a conversation with an aspiring actor who swears they can speak to your lost loved ones and missing pets.

Look Into My Eyes takes viewers into the intriguing world of psychics and mediums, presenting a nuanced exploration of belief and skepticism. While I don't subscribe to the notion of psychic powers, the film intriguingly depicts how some individuals in this field may not be outright frauds but rather, people seeking purpose amidst their own life struggles. The film thoughtfully portrays how they might cling to this identity for self-worth or control, especially when their own lives have not gone as planned.

On the other side of the table, the seekers, often in their most vulnerable states, find temporary comfort and reassurance, even if the guidance is built on questionable foundations. The film cleverly exposes the techniques used by some psychics—like cold reading and asking leading questions—that can create an illusion of supernatural insight. This raises ethical concerns, particularly when vulnerable individuals are offered false promises.

A thought-provoking film that challenges viewers to consider the fine line between comfort and exploitation in the realm of psychics and mediums. It's a captivating watch for those interested in the complexities of human belief and the search for meaning.

This film will be popular with people who enjoyed documentaries like The Imposter, An Honest Liar, and Kumare, which delve into themes of deception, belief, and the complex nature of truth.
