Are Psychics Real? Does That Even Matter to Them? How A24’s Doc ‘Look Into My Eyes’ Goes Beyond Truth Following New York’s Paranormal Practitioners
'Look Into My Eyes' director Lana Wilson, who last made the Taylor Swift doc 'Miss Americana,' goes beyond truth in her A24 doc about NY psychics.
Shot during the COVID pandemic, the production began with an intense casting process that saw Wilson and her crew meet with over 150 psychics across the five boroughs – armed with a personal reading request for each of them. Together, the two attempt to reach a peer who died by suicide: a surprise reunion that begins as pitch black cringe comedy and transforms into a determined communion of vulnerability. The playful reveal that the doctor’s speech is a preamble to a reading request foretell the true interests of “Look Into My Eyes”: the odd but engaging labor of the psychics and the connection that they work to foster with their clients, as opposed to whatever may seem more real outside of the room.
