And So He Opens His Eyes

About This Movie

So, 'And So He Opens His Eyes' is kind of a quirky blend of comedy and fantasy that explores the afterlife in a way you wouldn't expect. We follow this small-time swindler who ends up in court after a rather unfortunate twist of fate. The judge, a guy he drove to the brink during his life, makes for some pretty amusing tension. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that weird charm keeps it engaging. The practical effects they use for the afterlife scenes are a nice touch, adding a unique flair. The performances are solid, particularly the back-and-forth between the lead and the judge, which really drives the comedy in a sly, understated way. It’s not your typical afterlife tale, that’s for sure.
