Best movie of this year hands down!

A Masterpiece!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Nice one for the horror/thriller genre. I was not expecting it to be that good, even though spaniards have a history of quite nice contribution to the genre. Interesting movie, that will keep you on edge.

I just read a long and very satisfying review on IMDB first page for LODJ. And I completely agree with it. Yes the first half makes you feel that this could be interesting, but then it falls apart with over long scenes (and corridors too!) with rather predictable outcome despite some unexplained twists, Going back to the review I read, at least I was not fooled by the "prestige name' but simply because I have to humbly confess I seldom take notice of them! In this particular case I guess it saved me disappointment. I could say I have seen worse movies but I'm glad this was on my TV and recorded so I could have a break on the middle... Funny I mention "a break" I seem to remember in the fifties whilst still in France movies always had an "intermission" and I still can hear the usherette calling out "Bonbons, Caramel, Eskimo"! Eskimo being ice cream. I'm wondering if this would have helped Julia's ojos? I have often refused to put a rating as I don't believe in it, but it seems that it is a request now so I will indiscriminately give a 5.

This is a story of real evil that takes form of a sick guy but the story of him is never fully told here and thats is a good thing really Julia is a beautiful women that has a big heart and know that something is not right in this place where her sister died The dark walls and sound let you know that some evil person is near and wanna take a bite of her but you never know how untill the very end This movie has a good script and fantastic cast Giulia y los Tellarini's version of "the look of love" sets the tone of the movie and is one of the keys here Everyone should see this movie before life is over

When her blind twin sister Sara dies, Julia Levin (Belén Rueda) is instantaneously convinced that suicide is out of the question, despite what her husband Isaac (Lluís Homar) and police claim. Suffering from the same genetic illness, Julia's sight is also failing, a process quickened by stress. When the truth behind Sara's death slowly lapses into an obsession, strange things start occurring with a shadow of a man constantly lurking in the background. While visiting a home for the blind, the local janitor reveals much into the nature of this presence: 'an invisible man', a person with such a weak life aura, that he melts with the shadows, unnoticed by normal people, only noticed by people with heightened senses, such as the blind...The intriguing premise, offering some philosophical origins of conception, offers a strong backbone for the story: a faceless man, unnoticed by the world at large, not due to special skills, but thanks to insignificance. However for the most part this aspect of the story gets a purely functional treatment, utilised for its possibility of creating tension and a sense of thrill. Our perpetrator is constantly mired in shadows, unseen, lurking somewhere in the background. Meanwhile as Julia's sight falters, so does the camera - a concept used with dreaded effectiveness throughout the movie. Corresponding to Julia's growing blindness camera angles start becoming less revealing, creating a sense of lack of control, while peoples faces are entirely cut from the picture, with only voices offered to differentiate between characters.This creates a level of chilly atmosphere into the somewhat cumbersome and overly convoluted story, which attempts to introduce too many threads and dangerously languishes into melodramatic territory, but without the same sense of control offered by Pedro Almodovar. Thus soon the movie becomes more about how it was filmed, less about the somewhat poorly handled story which challenges the attention span of viewers with non-focused narrative. These plot contrivances make "Julia's Eyes" level down to slightly above average horror fare, albeit when the base concept works it does so with some thrilling panache. A shame given these moments of pure perfection are sabotaged by the overall chaotic distractions bundled into the plot.
