Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com Without looking up its real-life parallels, you could probably guess where things were headed. For some viewers, this predictability is like comfort food from a chain restaurant. For others, it’s the equivalent of cinematic dental work. Rated: 2/4 May 24, 2024 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety For all its predictability, “Sight” has a few surprises up its sleeve, especially when Wang discovers there’s more than one way to measure success or failure. May 24, 2024 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News [Sight] realizes its goal handedly: To inspire us to do something for others. Rated: 2.5/4 May 22, 2024 Full Review Matthew Turner Action Reloaded This is a watchable drama about an inspirational true story, but the script could probably have used another pass, as it’s hard not to be frustrated by the amount of wasted potential. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) What you see is what you get with this straightforward and uplifting – if somewhat bland – immigrant tale. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Loren King Loren King ...heavy-handed but effective as it delivers themes of personal triumph over adversity, forgiveness and compassion.
