Get ready to be captivated by Look Into My Eyes, a new documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Lana Wilson (Miss Americana, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields), premiering in US theaters on Friday, September 6 at Film Forum. The film offers a profound and intimate look into the lives of New York City psychics and the seekers who turn to them for guidance.
About Look Into My Eyes
Look Into My Eyes delves into the world of psychics, where crystal balls, neon signs, and candle-lit rooms may dominate the popular imagination, but the reality is far richer and more complex. Throughout New York City, a diverse community of psychics—each with their own stories of love, loss, and connection—provides bridges to the beyond for those in search of answers.
Wilson’s documentary captures deeply personal sessions between psychics and their clients, including:
- A doctor seeking reassurance about a young girl who died in her care.
- An adopted woman searching for information about her birth parents.
- A pet medium, who also happens to be a cinephile, channeling an anxious dog’s concerns.
Equally compelling are the internal questions the psychics grapple with: Am I truly helping people? Do I have a real gift? Does it even matter?
About the Lana Wilson’s work
Look Into My Eyes is the third film in Lana Wilson’s trilogy about complex healers. It follows her Emmy-winning After Tiller, which focused on the four most-targeted abortion doctors in America, and the Independent Spirit Award-nominated The Departure, about a punk-turned-priest who helps suicidal individuals find reasons to live. The film had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it was met with critical acclaim.
