12/05/2020 I thought the acting was really good but I'm not sure what this movie was really about. See more 06/29/2020 This is yet another Indie film which deflects the repressed behaviors and dilemmas of middle class American families. The fine cast does their best with the material, but this light weight fable makes little sense as plotlines are swept under the carpet, or else forgotten by the screen writer. So for this being a very slow moving film, and losing my interest in half of the movie, and as my review says everything of how I feel about this film, I give " Touchey Feely " a D-. See more steve d 06/14/2020 The plot is forgettable the characters paper thin. Nothing interesting happens and then in mercifully ends. See more 05/17/2019 I think it would have been better if it was about Ellen Page's character, because she was more engaging than the rest of the cast, though I liked Allison Janney and Scott McNairy - also not main characters. One thing that really bugged me though was the film's lack of knowledge about reiki. Suddenly, without trying, Paul's dental patients magically have their TMJ cured. This happens in one visit. There's an implication that Paul is inadvertently doing reiki, but that ain't how it works. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that. I'm also surprised that the writer/director didn't make more of an effort to understand it or at least run her script by someone who does reiki. See more 07/20/2018 I think the most disappointing thing about Touchy Feely is that it really could have been great. It features interesting ideas and has great performances, especially by Pais and the criminally underutilized but always fantastic Ellen Page. However, the film is bogged down by boring scenes and little to no character development. The film has a fantastic scene near the end involving a guitar, and I finally thought that it was going to become good. However, literally 5 minutes later the movie ended. It is not a terrible movie, but wastes great potential with pointless scenes and terrible decisions. See more 12/16/2016 It is a well-acted film and there are some really lovely moments, but even as a fan of Lynn Shelton's work, "Touchy Feely" is tonally, and narratively, all over the place. I feel like something went wrong during the production, and she had to somehow make things seem watchable. It starts out solid, but it loses its control afterwards and it got very confusing. It's an underwhelming film. See more Read all reviews
