Blake Lively’s Underrated Thriller From The World War Z Director Is Leaving Netflix Soon

If you've ever been curious about Blake Lively's lesser-seen foray into psychological drama—directed by none other than Marc Forster, the guy behind World War Z—now's your reminder: 'All I See Is You' is on its way out from Netflix. And soon. You’ve basically got a week left if you want to see what happens when a marriage is challenged by, of all things, an eye surgery.

'All I See Is You': Last Call on Netflix

The clock is ticking for 'All I See Is You' on Netflix. It leaves the platform on May 8, 2026. (No, that’s not a typo. It’s really sticking around until 2026. So maybe just set a reminder for a couple years from now?) The film is skipping out alongside 'Kill Your Friends', 'Manodrome', and—let’s all pretend to be shocked—'The Emoji Movie'.

From Festival Buzz to... Not Much Else

Back in 2016, 'All I See Is You' had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, signaling the kind of movie that hopes for critical buzz and maybe an indie following. The film had its very limited US run about a year later, playing in just 250 theaters. Not exactly the box office strategy of the century.

Who Did What?

• Director: Marc Forster, who usually makes bigger swings ('World War Z', 'Finding Neverland'), co-wrote the screenplay with Sean Conway.
• Producers: Craig Baumgarten, Jillian Kugler, Brian Wilkins, and Michael Selby.
• Cast: Blake Lively leads as Gina, Jason Clarke as her husband James. The film also features Ahna O'Reilly, Miquel Fernández, Yvonne Strahovski, Wes Chatham, and Danny Huston.

The Premise (Or: Why They’ll Never Let You Forget It’s “Psychological”)

The setup is simple but with some real psychological teeth: Gina (Lively) is blind and depends on James (Clarke), who gets a boost to his ego from being needed. But once Gina gets partial vision back after surgery, her newfound independence rattles James, and the relationship spirals in ways that you might expect in a 'psychological drama'—translation: things get tense, weird, and more than a little sad.

Money and Reviews: Don’t Expect a Cult Classic

So how did it do? Well, the movie barely made a ripple financially, racking up just under $700,000 worldwide according to Box Office Mojo. And the critics, frankly, weren’t having it.

Rotten Tomatoes has it floating at a miserable 30% from reviewers, with audiences liking it even less at 29%. If you prefer your disappointment in number form, Metacritic gives it a 43 (critic) and a 5.3 (user), which is the ratings world’s version of a shrug.

To put a finer point on just how rough the reception was, check out critic Susan Granger’s take:

'The script’s weak, and Lively… limited acting range [was] disappointing.'

Michelle Alexandria from Eclipse Magazine also got in a jab, calling it 'An impressionistic art piece that tries and fails to be a compelling movie that’s worth watching.'

The Bottom Line

If you’re a completist for Blake Lively, want to see Marc Forster working way smaller and quieter, or just love rare misfires, double-check your Netflix queue before May 8, 2026. You’ve got time, but let’s face it—you’ll probably forget.
