Can psychics really foretell your future? Commune with the dead? Or even read your pet’s mind? Enter the world of clairvoyants, mediums, and seers in this revelatory portrait of supposedly paranormal practitioners and their clients, as they seek to find answers—and healing—with each other. After making high-profile celebrity docs on Taylor Swift (Miss Americana) and Brooke Shields (Pretty Baby), award-winning filmmaker Lana Wilson sets her compassionate lens on these very different performers, and finds unexpected poignancy and humor in their lives and work. Called one of Sundance’s “best documentaries [and] marvelously nuanced and fascinating” (New York Times), Look Into My Eyes is an intriguing journey, riding the line between truth and fakery, and the palpable emotional reality that can exist in between. “Mesmeric [and] moving” (IndieWire) and “surprisingly effective” (RogerEbert.com), this quiet, remarkable film offers an intimate view into not only the supernatural but also the fragility of human nature.
