View: Critics vs public opinion

It seems that View critics and audiences are divided. Although critics may agree that View is based on an inspiring true story, many argue that the film opts for superficial storytelling, failing to dig deeper and provide viewers with more compelling, multi-dimensional characters that capture the real meaning of the story. Many critics claim that View seems predictable and boring, failing to stage any drama that would add a more cinematic feel to the film. Instead, they say, it feels more like a documentary.



View

comes from Angel Studios, a production company known for its faith-based content.

However, it seems viewers couldn’t agree less since the average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes for View is 5/5. Viewers celebrate the film and applaud it for demonstrating perseverance and success in the face of adversity. With flashbacks interwoven throughout the film that show Dr. Wang’s experiences growing up in China and how they shape his outlook as a doctor, View emotionally touches the audience. While critics point out that the film lacks drama to add to its narrative, it seems that viewers feel that the film perfectly captures the triumph of the human spirit and see no problem with the storytelling.

Despite poor reviews, View tells the true story of a revolutionary eye procedure that restored vision to thousands of people. Using a procedure that uses the human placenta to heal retinal scar tissue, Dr. Wang’s story is truly remarkable. While View leaves much to be desired by critics, it seems to be a hit with viewers. It also wouldn’t be the first time that an Angel Studios production received a much better response from audiences than critics, with The sound of freedom became a viral hit last year.
