Shot over 10 filming days, scattered across a 6-month shoot, Zeshaan Younus’s sophomore feature film I’ve Seen All I Need to See attempts quite a lot with very little at its disposal, making for an impressively determined DIY film that’s entirely watchable, without ever being undeniably gripping.

Inspired by the revered works of Terrence Malick, with Youngus and his cinematographer Justin Moore clear fans, and sharing similar DNA to the recent features of David Lowery, most notably A Ghost Story, See in reality does a lot with not a lot but there’s narrative shortcomings and a coldness to Younus’s film that holds it back from being a real indie breakout.

Following Renee Gagner’s struggling LA actress Parker as she returns to her hometown to come to terms with the unexpected and complicated death of her sister Indiana (Rosie McDonald), See may on paper appear to be a relatively straightforward dramatic operation but Younus’s storytelling structure ensures this isn’t the case, as Parker’s dealings with the present, past and future take us on a complex ride through grief, acceptance and the human condition.

Well-performed throughout by its collection of talented actors and notably enhanced by the work of composer Benjamin Doherty, viewers will likely find elements and ingredients of See to enjoy and appreciate but when viewed as a whole, there’s too many gaps and stumbles to consider See an outright success.

When weighed up against the fact this feature exists thanks to passion for the medium and financially the smell of an oily rag, See suggests that its stars and creators could all move onto big things next, as See acts at the very least as a visually captivating calling card for its creative forces, who one hopes can continue on their journey to unlock their full potential.

Final Say –

Influenced by some heavy-hitting and unique Hollywood product, I’ve Seen All I Need to See doesn’t get close to matching it with its bigger cinematic comrades but there’s still components here to be admired and appreciated.
