I See You

What to Know

Critics Consensus

I See You gets tripped up on its own narrative contortions, but a solid cast and an effective blend of scares and suspense make this slow-building mystery worth watching.

I See You (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Kevin Maher Times (UK) The director's smartest achievement, however, is the way that he shifts the narrative emphasis around, frequently via plot twists, minor and major. Rated: 4/5 Jun 11, 2020 Full Review I See You (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Nick Allen RogerEbert.com It would be impossible to guess the ending of I See You during its tiresome first act, which is something numerous films can't tout, but the movie uses cheap tricks to earn that kudos. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 6, 2019 Full Review I See You (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dennis Harvey Variety An eerie suspense exercise that starts out looking like a supernatural tale - one of several viewer presumptions this cleverly engineered narrative eventually pulls the rug out from under. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review I See You (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews A hauntingly good puzzle of a film with twists you won’t see coming. Rated: 5/5 Jul 23, 2023 Full Review I See You (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media In defter hands, a similar story might have some punch but, as is, this amounts to a big yawn. Rated: 2/5 Mar 31, 2023 Full Review I See You (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Marshall Shaffer Decider There’s some cleverness in its construction that might delight genre enthusiasts, yet a strong mid-section gets tainted by the painfully obvious opening and closing bits.

Adam B Had several unexpected and unique twists only to end up becoming formulaic and obvious in the third act. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Devin B Starts out slow but the story gets better and better towards the end with really good twists and turns! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Frank W I See You presented a good but disjointed message. Trying to do too much. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Chloe F I recently watched "anatomy of a fall" because it was one of the 2024 nominees for "best picture" at the academy awards. "I See You" was ten times better. Both are crime movies. Loved this movie, especially the twist. I've always been proud of the fact that I can predict movie endings and was happily proved wrong (this time😉) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Chadd J A very slow and very boring movie at first. The second half was way more interesting with all of the twists and turns, I did like the whole revenge plot it had without actually using it as the focal point of the movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Ellie C This was surprising good. Not at all what i thought it was going to be, but I loved it. It's scary but not too scary, it's not at all predictable and it keeps a great pace. Helen Hunt is less than great but the rest of the cast does a great job. I highly recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
