TRIP: GIVE ME YOUR EYES

Cinemavixion Review

Neil McCay's "TRIP: GIVE ME YOUR EYES" plunges into the abyss of grief and psychological turmoil. The film centers on a mother, shattered by her daughter's suicide, who retreats into alcoholism and isolation. Her fragile world is disrupted by the arrival of an unconventional therapist, who proposes a radical, hallucinogenic treatment designed to bridge the gap between the living and the dead. Driven by an overwhelming need to comprehend her daughter's suffering, the mother embarks on this perilous journey. What she encounters, however, is not solace but a terrifying echo of her daughter's own tormented experiences, blurring the lines between reality and delusion. "TRIP: GIVE ME YOUR EYES" is a harrowing exploration of maternal guilt, mental illness, and the desperate measures one might take to seek understanding in the face of unbearable loss. Akasha Villalobos, Major Dodge, Peggy Schott, Jill Young, and Bjorgvin Arnarson deliver performances that navigate the film's dark and disorienting narrative with compelling intensity.
