User review:
First of all I feel like this is a must see movie, because although It’s simple and nice but It’s very sweet, relatable and bigger than the sum of its parts. This movie is most of all about being a teenager. Yes the main character is gay and blind, but he’s only going through the process every teenager goes through in discovering himself. His unique perspective however is what makes this movie so amazing and moving. I loved this movie because it reminded me of what being a teenager is like, It will provoke in you a roller coaster of feelings and introduce you very realistically into Leo’s life. The film feels very real, the cast is amazing and the chemistry between the leads is perfect, but what I liked most of all is the way the fact that the lead is gay and has a disability is handled. It’s almost incidental and very subtle in the way it’s introduced. Leo is not a poster kid and neither his sexuality nor his blindness define him.

An incredibly, sweet and sensitive story. One of my favorites. Great acting from such a young cast and well written. You can tell area’s where ‘enthusiastic’ editing was done as it does jump a little bit, but really that’s a minor thing compared to the story as a whole’ If you are in the mood for something positive, then…..I give it a strong 4 stars. A perfect rainy afternoon movie!

A charming coming of age film. The Way He Looks (2014) deserves all the delight and praise it has received from viewers across the world. It is emotionally detailed and sensitively directed with understanding of how adolescents feel and behave. The casting is the key here. The three main protagonists were selected with obvious care and deliver a believable and wholly engaging story.
