Synopsis
Collin (Daveed Diggs) must make it through his final three days of probation for a chance at a new beginning. He and his troublemaking childhood best friend, Miles (Rafael Casal), work as movers and are forced to watch their old neighborhood become a trendy spot in the rapidly gentrifying Bay Area. When a life-altering event causes Collin to miss his mandatory curfew, the two men struggle to maintain their friendship as the changing social landscape exposes their differences. Lifelong friends Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in this timely and wildly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland. Bursting with energy, style and humor, Blindspotting, boldly directed by Carlos López Estrada in his feature film debut, is a provocative hometown love letter that glistens with humanity.

Blindspotting is the kind of film that provokes hours of conversation. Only masterpieces and memorably terrible movies do that, and this film is the former.
RalphJul 9, 2018There have been multiple great movies this year that frame Oakland as the center of contemporary urban life to show how strongly people of color are affected by systemic issues like colonization, capitalism, gentrification, the prison system, and crime. Each does a great…

came out of the theatre shaking. still have much to process but yeah everyone should be seeing this. gonna go listen to clipping now because daveed diggs is the best.
KarstenJul 28, 2019I would have appreciated a bit more ambiguity and the spoken word simplifies the situations too much for my liking but technically and creatively ambitious. Very promising first feature. Watched Blu-ray.
Sean BakerAug 12, 2018I really thought something in this movie would seem worse on a second viewing. I was wrong. Even the most controversial element of this movie (the rapping) completely works for me because it's only used to ratchet the tension up to a ten. The entire second and third acts…

Who knew Macklemore was a good actor!?!?!?!?
kaylaJul 8, 2019• Tisha Campbell, much like everyone else in Martin, is an American treasure. She's not in enough movies. She has one scene in this movie and she nearly runs away with the damn thing. I think about her delivery of "he makes me nervous" constantly. Come 2020, I will vote for…

I really thought the white boy was G-Eazy for like 20 minutes before I realized he wasn't. There's something about Daveed Diggs and his level of charisma. Very cheesy, what happened near the end with the cop, but other than than an undeniably well crafted movie. Stream clipping.
Ethan Brown lovedBlindspottingThis movie is beautiful. The different dynamics it portrays through relationship, along with the usage of rap/poetry to describe the emotions is phenomenal.
Butterballs likedBlindspottingGreat story, naturally got the point across most of the time, alittle too poignant at others. LOVED the rap element. Great tribute to Oakland, acting felt over the top at times, great visuals, ending felt extreme haha

Eye opening commentary on police violence. Feels like it stumbles the first two acts but the third brings it together. Miles is hilarious.
Rhea lovedBlindspottingDaveed Diggs and Rafael Casal did an amazing job writing the script. The dialogue is insane, def check out their other work!
Griffin McClary is "meh" onBlindspottingIt’s alright, wouldn’t watch again and have seen better with a similar topic (la haine) just hits on some different points

This was an intense, funny, and deeply moving look at some of the biggest social issues facing our country today from race to economic disparity and gentrification to gun violence. There are some tropes and plot contrivences that could have been the downfall of the film if…
EMEden MooreThis movie is 100% an absolute masterpiece that left me shaken to my core. It is equally as tense as it is hilarious and socially conscious in its representation and love for the Bay area

EEEmma ElamBest movie of the year. Will see it again! It is incredible, well-written and performed. Makes you think and challenges the status quo. Run don’t walk to this one!!
JBJennifer BentleyMoving performances from a great cast but a bit of an uneven film in tone. However, it's a strong debut showing promise for future projects with all involved.

Metacritic
Oct 8, 2018
By equal turns tense and witty but with plenty of perceptive social commentary to go around, this is a film that only gets more rewarding the more you look under its surface.
Amon Warmann
Empire
As led by Daveed Diggs’ impassioned, tormented performance, Blindspotting is hard to shake, despite its on-the-nose plot points and melodramatic flourishes.
Tim Grierson
Screen Daily
In a stroke of combined wisdom and humility, rather than pretending to have the answers, Casal and Diggs are content to pose the questions, relying on their considerable wit and comedic charm to present such tricky topics in refreshingly engaging fashion.
