I read the summary for this one, and I was on board.
A woman is blind, but it's a mental problem. It reminded me of Cricket on the Hearth when the girl goes blind after she finds out her fiancé is lost at sea. Anyway, in this movie, Alison's younger sister, Robin comes to live with her and her husband, Eric. Apparently, those two have a past, and as the plot progresses, it becomes clear what happened between those two.
Later, Alison starts to piece together the traumatic event that blinded her. The past is repeating itself, and it's triggering her memories. The end is just nuts.
I was on board with this movie until the end. When Alison is pretending she's still blind, I know what she's up to, and I was on the edge of my seat what was going to happen. Eventually, the sister and the husband mess up in front of everyone (like morons), and they realize Alison can see. What happens after that? I don't know. The movie ends by Alison walking outside and looking at the sky. That's it. What happens with the two horrible people? I needed justice.
I was afraid Alison was going to take pills, but I guess she chooses life? The crappy ending just ruined it for me. The story is based on a book by Francoise des Ligneris. I'd normally be interested in finding out if there was some kind of resolution in the book, but I was so irritated at the movie, I'm just going to leave it where it is. Bummed.
