Please rate & review The Movies on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you listen to the show!---LOOK INTO MY EYES, directed by Lana Wilson (MISS AMERICANA, PRETTY BABY: BROOKE SHIELDS), centers on a group of seven New York psychics and the intimate readings they undergo with their clients.Some search for answers regarding their future. Others try to make sense of the past. People ask about their lost loved ones, both young and old. In these psychics, they look for comfort, but even more so, the simple, affirming joy of being heard and understood.The movie then flips the camera around on the psychics, learning who they are, what brought them to the field, their own struggles and trauma. It peeks into their lives and in a way, heals the healer?And I wouldn't say this focuses on what you think when you hear the word "psychic." No Ouija boards, seances, nor Mewtwo here. It's less about clairvoyance and more about psychotherapy. It doesn't matter if the spirit is tangible. The comforting hugs and the happy tears are. And they are enough.---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!
