    "While the fact that the main character of the film is disabled is in itself important and part of the story, making her journey more challenging than it should be, her disability is not her defining trait. Sonia is a strong, independent and successful woman and the film has a lot of humor, with that relatable awkwardness of waking up next to a one-night stand perfectly written through her prism. Like any good romcom, My Eyes Are Up Here does get cute, but what makes the film so effective is its perfect balance between reality and humor." - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan

      A guy that doesn't have your back when you are being publicly humiliated? I mean yes, she can take cae of herself but how is he standing there in silence when she is being so degraded? And then she stilll wants to give him the time of day? Just NO!

      @@PiDs3109 As you can see if you read my cmment, I covered your point. There is however no way I would not support my friend if she was being spoken to like that. And if I was with any of my pals rest assured that we would both speak up and if they didn't they would not be my friends to begin with.
      I have even intervened with people I don't know who were being pubicly humiliated. The fact you find this behaviour acceptable is bizarre. Let's all just stand by in apathy and never challenge any unacceptable behaviour. The more people who speak up, the less acceptable behaviour like this becemes. So what was your point again? Bearing in mind I covered your point in my original comment. Ahem! And please expain to me where I insinuate that she didn't know how to speak for herself.

      ​​​@@missthea5259 Yes, it is nice to have someone who is protective and supportive on your side. However, it is much better to know the person you would be potentially protecting. Pay attention to how they move different situations and then act accordingly. If person wants a guard dog they'll get a gaurd dog. I particularly apreciated the respect between these two, not just reacting to confrontation but actually understanding what they expect from each other in such confrontation. From the insulting converation with his mom to the infuriating bus ride. They understood each other. Respecting a person means more than fighting their battles but, rather, knowing when they want you to help them fight their battles.

    OK my main question is why on earth she is wasting her time on a guy willing to stand by quietly while she is humiliated? And what was the point of includng that scene if not to show that this guy doesn't have her back? The bar really is low in dating is what I am taking away from this.
    If the idea was to not be ableist then I'm confused because it's giving ''People with disabilities will accept crumbs''. It definitely was NOT giving romcom.
    And yes I'm sure she point is that she can defend herself but there is absolutely NO WAY IN HELL I would ever see guy again who stood by in silence and watched me be treated like that.

He actually paid attention to her and learned from the fact she didn't want him to help her up from the floor that she doesn't like feel helpless and be aided all the time at the first sign of stress.

      @@PiDs3109 That has absolutely nothing to do with showing support to your friend. So you'd stand by in silence and watch your friend be spokent to like that would you? Please!
      That makes you an enabler. The more people who speak up and show disdain makes the behaviour less acceptable. Silence shows the perpetrator that on some level you agree with it.

      The thing is asking for support in the back of the mind is one type of crippleness. It's ok if he had helped. But had she been expecting that help - that's where all the sorrow of the world lives ma'am.
