With director Lana Wilson in person

Dir. Lana Wilson. 2024, 104 mins. U.S. DCP. Wilson brings viewers into the intimate spaces of one-one-one psychic readings in New York. Unlike the storefront palm readers that are ubiquitous throughout the city, Wilson’s subjects specialize in private, longer-form sessions that can resemble therapy and often turn emotional. The film is a deft, riveting, and stealthily shattering immersion into the psychics’ practices and personal lives, which are more recognizable than one might suspect. As layered and crafted as a work of fiction yet centered on people and stories that could never be made up, Look into My Eyes elegantly crosscuts between supplicant and seer, and between the stillness of their sessions and the movements of the city. As with each of the director’s films, a singular subject develops into something improbably, beautifully, uncannily universal. An A24 release.
