Blindspotting

"A comedy-drama so caught up in its teachable moments that it often fails to come off like either."

""Blindspotting" encourages audiences to look beyond surface prejudices and really see their fellow citizens for the first time. If ever there was a film to open America's eyes, this is it."

"Still, Blindspotting, which was the heralded opening-night film at the festival, has an undeniable presence."

"A mercurial and explosive film, Blindspotting nimbly parses conflicts about race, rent, incarceration and gentrification."

"But as led by Daveed Diggs' impassioned, tormented performance, Blindspotting is hard to shake, despite its on-the-nose plot points and melodramatic flourishes."

"Estrada's debut feature brandishes a brash exuberance and stilted storytelling tropes in roughly equal measure, yielding a final result that stimulates just as it cheapens itself dramatically."

"Blindspotting doesn't have all the answers, and it doesn't even really attempt to give them, but it does provide a road to understanding through empathy."
