An earnest, but not entirely sucessful attempt to deal with a powerful subject. It doesn't really explore why wife is making the decisions she's making, and the way film handles story, it starts to feel a little repetitive.

Predictable spanish drama about wife-battering with a lot of clichés: woman without education married with a closed mind man. Her mother don't see anything and her sister tries to protect her. The end is awful and unlikely.

When Pilar(Laia Marull) conducts a seminar on art, she widens the gap between herself and Antonio with each thoughtful observation about the artist's rendering of Orpheus and his nymph. Pilar is radiant. The audience is spellbound. She doesn't need to settle for an abusive husband anymore. "Take my Eyes" does an admirable job of not portraying Antonio as an irredeemable monster, while at the same time, not suggesting that he is good enough for Pilar. Any man who seeks therapy for their violent impulses deserves a second chance, but not with the same woman. Interestingly, it's not Antonio we hate(since the man admits he has a problem), it's the mother, who refuses to recognize that her daughter is a battered spouse. This betrayal of sorts gives "Take My Eyes" some balance, and prevents the film from being hysterically anti-male.… Expand
