Atom User Reviews for Blinded by the Light
Just wonderful!! I was worried that there were few people in the 4:20pm show. I hope they get a large audience because it's a great movie.
I absolutely loved this movie! I think it had a great story. I even cried. People nowadays only care about things that don't matter that they might think this movie is pointless but people that actually care about true stuff how life really is and how people are know that this movie was great
Awesome story and acting! Loved it.
Really moving and leave a great lesson! I teared up like a baby!
After a while I was like. We get it you like Springsteen. I like the speech he gave at the end. The gift at the end was touching.
This movie is awesome. Everything you would want to say, or share with the world. It makes you want demand from the world to act the way that we have all agreed at many times in your life that we all have a right to be on the. planet. It doesnt matter who you are, what you are, if you like or dont like someone, something, some place, or whathaveyou. We ate all bound, chained to this world. We cant just close our eyes and travel from one place to another with a thought. We all desire to just get along with everybody else even of we do care for much about certain thinsgs. We just can't figure out how to keep that everyone's focus all the time. Its a powerful movie.
A sweet and inspiring story about not giving up on your dreams. If you're a fan of the Boss , you'll love it.
Incredibly sweet and poignant coming of age story. It's an absolute heartwarming story with a level of depth I wasn't expecting.
Fun movie which doubles as a treat for Bruce Springsteen.
Loved this movie! One of the best movies I’ve seen lately!
Very eye opening for anyone who has never faced diversity in their life before. Worth watching at least once.
Awesome
Well done, main character did a great job! Loved from start to finish!
Incredible moving experience. The entire crowd had tears at the end.
Truly an amazing story.
A look into another humans life, and their trials and tribulations
A wonderful tribute to the universal and timeless appeal of the Boss.
what a powerful movie. we thoroughly enjoyed it.
not what I expected
Good plot and makes you feel same emotions the main character is feeling
This movie is a great big shot of joy and light,!just like Bruce’s music. A must see for the Springsteen fan or anyone who has ever felt as though they didn’t fit and wanted more for themselves in life. And of course, the soundtrack is totally boss!
great movie
A great feel good movie about following your dreams. It will definitely leave you with a good feeling.
Best Movie of the Year! Yes I'm still a Boss Fan 2!
We loved the movie and music just made it that much better. Then to find out it was a true story very authentic makes it even better.
I want to own it.
My son and I loved it! It was a little slow at times, and sometimes awkward. But his story was really interesting and inspiring. And I think also very relevant to current events. Seeing his story helps give depth and empathy to others.
Disappointed
Absolutely loved it, left a Springsteen fan! Fantastic acting, meaningful. exactly what a movie should be.
A boy is obsessed with the boss and we have to suffer his obsession for two hours!! Very predictable story and cliched turn of events in the end. Acting by the cast was good however the story and screenplay made it a drag. Give this one a miss and instead go watch the director Gurinder Chadda’s masterpiece movie “ Bend it like Beckham” on Amazon Prime. It’s what I should have done too! Two stars ( 1 for the acting and 1 for the end speech)
Excellent movie and very relatable if you have kids. Bring the tissues for the ending.
Incredible
Says "As Bruce Says" way too much
Really a very delightful movie about the angsts of youth and finding out who you are , and your place in the world. I was never a fan of Bruce Springsteen, but hearing his music throughout the movie has made me interested in listening to more of it. The actors were chosen well and did a good job of conveying their way of dealing with the world around them. I would have like to have had more of a backstory on Ash’s friend, and how he came to discover Springsteen’s music. That was never made clear in the movie.
Feel good movie
A little corny at times but overall a great movie
Great movie on life from a unique point of view. Not your typical teen movie.
Storytelling felt a little uneven and at times a little cliche. Nevertheless, the film definitely had its share of feel-good-moments.
Had an hour long smile on my face during the first hour of the movie, then it took a more emotional turn, then my smile came back for the last part of the film. Fun Movie.
Done in the style of 'Mama Mia' only to the music of "The Boss", & sprinkled with a hint of Bollywood!
Perfect
it was enjoyable. I really hated his father, which says they did a good job. the soundtrack was great and the music for the action
Metacritic
The reality of intergenerational conflict is a given for Blinded by the Light, but nothing can stand up to the transformative power of the Boss. You can take that to the bank.
The pace picks up quite a bit in the film’s third act, working hard to wrap everything up. It’s extremely rushed and convenient, but by then Blinded By The Light will have either won or lost its viewers.
Blinded by the Light is corny, silly, as overblown as one of Springsteen’s grandest anthems and damn near irresistible.
