Marc Forster’s meandering, slow-burning tale has elements that might have attracted Polanski or Almodovar but eventually settles for a psychological thriller that is a little too enigmatic for its own good.
It defeats expectations, but it’s far more arresting and captivating a romance because Forster infuses it with suspenseful urgency. I have to admire the guts of a director who portrays the dissolution of a mismatched marriage with the dread of a murder mystery.
The Hollywood Reporter by David Rooney
The movie morphs from sluggishness to confused ludicrousness, as it turns into a thrill-deprived thriller.
The longer things drag out, All I See Is You becomes every bit as amorphous as its protagonist's vision.
New York Magazine (Vulture) by Emily Yoshida
As a psychological not-quite thriller, it’s consistently entertaining; as a visual exercise, it’s more adventurous than most would be.
The A.V. Club by Jesse Hassenger
Lively has become an expert at creating the impression that at some point, the movie behind her will come together. All I See Is You comes closer than "Adaline," but its adult intentions don’t go far enough.
The Playlist by Kenji Fujishima
Take away Forster’s hard-working visual style, and what All I See Is You essentially presents is a standard relationship drama, with two generic, privileged people at its heart who don’t become any more striking even as the tensions between the two gradually reach a breaking point.
Even as All I See Is You descends into soapy nonsense, it remains visually engaging.
Look past the gimmick, and all that remains is an overly arty study of a lopsided marriage in which super-attentive husband James (Jason Clarke) actually seems to prefer when his wife Gina (Blake Lively) can’t see — and another opportunity for Lively to prove that she’s more than just a pretty face.
New York Daily News by Stephen Whitty
Inside the endlessly dull, oh-so-serious All I See Is You there’s a short, fun, trashy movie dying to get out. And dying. And dying.
Sex, drugs, murder. Welcome to L.A.
