Full review: https://movieswetextedabout.com/in-the-blink-of-an-eye-movie-review-andrew-stantons-sincere-yet-fragmented-vision/ Rating: C+ "In the Blink of an Eye lives in the dichotomy between the purity of Andrew Stanton‘s vision and the weaknesses of an execution that prioritizes theme over character. There’s courage in addressing existential questions, as well as a magnificent score by Thomas Newman and a couple of surprising performances that try to elevate the narrative. However, the fragmented structure prevents the human connection that Stanton so strongly defends from deeply materializing, resulting in a sincere visual essay that’s admired more for its intention than its final result. In the end, what remains is the image of a vast universe where, despite our temporal insignificance, the act of caring for one another remains the only light capable of piercing through the millennia."
