There's over a hundred reviews, with ratings ranging from 2 (<cite>Spawn<\/cite> and a couple others that are apparently just about impossible for a visually impaired person to follow even with a sighted assistant) up to 10 (<cite>The American President<\/cite>, which turns out to be very easy for a visually impaired person to follow, even without a sighted assistant).<\/p>\n<p>There are a surprising number of movies rated 6 or 7 (\"Usually any rating from 6 and higher will be workable with a sighted assistant\"), a few 8s, and one 9.
