“Wilson doesn’t need you to believe, but she will make you understand.” (RogerEbert.com)

A24’s latest documentary, Look Into My Eyes, directed by Lana Wilson (known for Taylor Swift: Miss Americana), offers an unforgettable exploration of the psychic world.

The film introduces us to seven psychics in New York City, with diverse backgrounds but sharing a common thread of creativity: former actors, writers and artists who found a calling in the psychic realm. Through intimate and powerful interviews, we discover that their motivations are rooted in personal experiences of loneliness, trauma and grief, poignantly highlighting that healers need the most healing.

Sessions with clients showcase the profound human connection and support that transcend the mere accuracy of predictions. Some psychics even question the truth of their own messages, adding a further layer of honesty and introspection to the film.

Lana Wilson’s objective lens moves beyond debate over the reality of psychic abilities, delving into why people seek this form of connection. A seminal film about the psychic world, not to be missed.

“With a cozy but respectful camera, a considerate tone and a profound understanding of urban alienation, Wilson puts forth something that will make every New Yorker—or anyone who’s ever sat with unprocessed grief and suffering—feel a little less alone.”

Harper's Bazaar

“Lana Wilson’s tender and entrancing documentary about New York City psychics will make you a believer.”

IndieWire

"Wilson doesn’t solve the mysteries of the universe, but she does do something remarkable: unveiling the very human desires and drives that motivate us to reach out for something bigger than ourselves.”
