As the credits rolled and as James (Dan Stevens) and his wife Samantha (Malin Akerman) are cuddling and talking sotto voce in bed, we do not see them.\u00a0 We watch the screen, which is mostly dark with a few painterly stroke of white.\u00a0 This is all that James can see.\u00a0 Because of an optical tumor, he lost his sight in childhood and is being cared for by Samantha, a woman who had patronized a dance for blind people with the object of caring for a man without sight.\u00a0 In the backstory, they had apparently married and had one boy.\u00a0 The important concept to know is that Samantha likes taking full charge of her man, buying his clothes, picking the (dreadful) wallpaper for their home, and taking care of schoolhouse bullying to which young Jonah (Skylar Gaertner) is subjected.\u00a0 James, who is infantilized, nonetheless prays daily, showing his gratitude for a happy life.<\/p>\n<p>He works at a firm that hires blind telemarketers, its aim to buy out the houses of people buried in debt, then to sell the property to a developer at a nice profit.\u00a0 James excels on the phone, getting people to sign on the dotted line while his best friend, the also blind Bob (Oliver Platt), envies the man\u2019s skills.\u00a0 When James gains his sight, he begins an affair with a hot colleague, Jessica (Kerry Bish\u00e9), buying an apartment, a car, and pretty much abandoning his wife.\u00a0 He is angry that Samantha never bothered to tell him about their son\u2019s troubles.<\/p>\n<p>What writer-director Fluk and his co-writer Sharon Mahihi want the audience to come away with is the idea that both James and Samantha share blame for their separation.\u00a0 As a marriage partner, Samantha appears to want a disabled man to allow her to dominate.\u00a0 James, who moves forward with the company rapidly, want the very things he warns his audiences of debt-ridden people to avoid: material goods.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Stevens, who \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d fans know for his lead role as Matthew Crawley, <strong>delivers a strong performance<\/strong> particularly in a shattering scene near the conclusion, yet highest credit goes to Zachary Galler behind the lenses to display the James\u2019s varying degrees of sight.\u00a0 Perhaps we in the audience were not meant even to hear every word of the pillow talk in order to stress the merits of the cinematography, but the muffled sound that pops up now and then can lead to audience frustration.<\/p>\n<p>Unrated.\u00a0 98 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<br \/>\n<strong>Comments, readers?\u00a0 Agree?
