Rating: 3.5/5 --
The impression that remains after the credits roll, however, is of exemplary American filmmaking, whose direction and superb performances make up for a solemn script.

At 134 angst-filled minutes, The Sensation of Sight might tax your patience, but there are rewards for the persistent.

New York Post
Itâ(TM)s moving, occasionally charming, and universally well-acted...But with its pretensions to profundity...the film, like its hero, can get stuck inside its own head.

Village Voice
[I]t's a terrible pity that this ensemble drama about people hurting and coping in small-town America is so relentlessly dull...

The really oppressive thing here is the filmmaking itself.

New York Times
David Strathairn's Finn is the nearly broken, perplexed, downcast, and also oddly humorous Chaplinesque figure, whose own transformative experienced 'sensation of sight' imparts a tentative metaphorical healing vision of a restored life.

Product Description:
David Strathairn--an Oscar nominee for GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK--turns his considerable acting talent to this indie drama. Strathairn plays Finn, a man who trades his duties as an English teacher for selling encyclopedias after a horrific event changes his life. Even though he leaves his job as a teacher, he still can't escape his past as his inner thoughts and dreams begin to claw their way out and he tries to deal with grief and loneliness. THE SENSATION OF SIGHT also stars Ian Somerhalder, Daniel Gillies, and Jane Adams.
Description by Monterey Media:
"When life becomes a second language…"
In an awe-inspiring fusion of dream/reality, this offbeat drama about man's search for meaning amidst the ache of despair chronicles Finn (David Strathairn), a middle-aged English teacher, as he enters a midlife crisis impelled by a recent tragedy.
Finn sets afoot selling encyclopedias to the town locals, however, his anxieties begin to consume him as he finds himself pursued by an unrelenting ghost. Circling through sleepless nights and desperate days, The Sensation of Sight intertwines lives of loneliness and disconnection, fatefully leading Finn toward an unexpected and sublime awakening.
