There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Learning to See is a film that I recommend every person to see if they want to experience the rapturous beauty of the most tiny of rain forest creatures. Learning to See will reveal to you how precious and interconnected all life is on earth. This magnificently photographed film is an inspiring personal transformation story that invites each of us to learn to see the Beauty in All that Is...no matter what it is. I saw it twice and will enjoy seeing it many more times.

Such a beautiful story and film. Filmmaker Jake Oelman creates a story you get lost in visually and emotionally. The importance of this film is epic as many people will never see the beauty of insects as Jake and Robert Oelman show us through Roberts awesome photography. I was lucky enough to see this film in its beginnings and look forward to watching it again and again when it comes out next year.

A wonderful journey of a man who wanted to change his life to then find himself on a beautiful journey of discovery for both Robert as well as all of mankind as he discovers the wonderful world of insects as well as himself. As we follow Robert and his son and filmmaker Jake Oleman... we discover as much about themselves as they do the little known world of insects. Amazing cinematography/photography and story telling...

This documentary centers on one man's exploration of a new way of life and the development of new talents related to natural history and photography. Starting a new life in Colombia and learning to see the magnificent insects that populate the Neotropical rain forests, Oelman developed exceptional abilities as an insect photographer enabling him to share these wonders of nature with others, with the hope of providing an impetus for saving the natural habitats that are home to these creatures before they are destroyed. The film highlights Mr. Oelman's personal journey in finding a new way of life and a new career. The film is filled with exquisite and intriguing photographs of tropical insects.
