Atom User Reviews for Blindspotting

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 the writing, cinematography, and acting hadn't been outstanding. It is the total package - funny, thoughtful, with moments that leave you waiting for the other shoe to drop.

This 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

A must see for a kinder world

Best 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!!

This is America.

Straight outa Oakland

This movie was well done and awesome!!!

Moving 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.

This movie was so excellent . It had a great cast a must see go out and see this movie you will laugh and cry a little

Wish I could’ve met the cast

The title is perfect for the whole theme of the movie. This is a very intense, eye-opening film. Even if you are not one of the most emphatic people out there, you will feel everything Collin, the main character feels. It keeps you on the edge of the seat at times, honestly rooting for an ex-con hiding a gun not to be caught by the police. I am not a film critic, but I can honestly say it is one of the best acting I have seen in a long time. It truly made me FEEL everything. Kudos to Daveed and Rafael!

This movie was outstanding. The cast is amazing & the movie was made me laugh, cry, and had me at the edge of my seat. It is a true story of the police brutality, gentrification, and racism issues we still deal with in today’s society. Everyone should go see this movie

amazing and moving

An awesome film. A must see for all Americans.

This film captured the heart of a message that's been seen as some sort of rascist propoganda when shared by followers of the #Blacklivesmatter movement. It manages to do so in a very poignant, yet occasionally hilarious manner. It's so refreshing to see something so entertaining and intensely thought provoking all in one originally creative package. This film checks all the boxes.

Best movie to bring out a message! All the suspense brought out the to movie to be interesting!

One of my favorite movies of the year!!

Great & important film. Brought to you by geniuses. 100% recommend and will see again

This was definitely not promoted like it should have been because this was an awesome movie!

Thanks,

The character development is as good as it gets. An intense film that simply doles not let you go.

I enjoyed the movie. Everyone struggles. Everyone has to grow. Life is a journey. Some journeys are more enjoyable than others. It’s the way nature planned it.

This movie was amazing! Everyone should see this!

I did not enjoy this movie at all

Great writing and acting. Would definitely watch again!

It depicts how hard it is as a black man in this society trying to just live your life in peace. also the hatred we deal with from police and whites.

The movie had a strong message and had the potential to have an even stronger message. I just feel the Director's were not consistent in their delivery of that message consistent in the delivery of their message and left out all of the comedy.

Both the lead and supporting actors had great chemistry on screen, and really played their roles. It was an emotional storyline that takes you through the depth of trauma convicts experience as people of color. Definitely a must see, that deserves an award.

This was a really good movie; kept you in suspense. The actors chosen for the main parts were a great choice. I'd recommend this.

Really good movie with a message! Must see!

Really eye opening movie. Will have you on the edge of your seat.

Best movie I've seen this year.

One of the best all time movies. Oak Town is just like in this movie.

Such a great movie!! Will see it again!

I like message the movie was about especially what is happening in world today with cops and black men.

Loved it!

This story needed to be told. Congratulations to the cast and crew for an amazing production.

One of the greatest movies I have ever seen! It handles so many heavy topics with grace and complexity while leaving you on a laugh. You are rewarded by repeated watching

I liked the movie very much! I would like to see this turned into a series, the chemistry and characters were amazing.

Touched on serious of everyday events

Great movie about the things people goes thru in there life's. A eye opener.

i enjoyed this movie, Not enough press but caught this in time to see at local theatre.

A great movie to watch!

Everything come together at the end. I sat in my seat during the credits absorbing what I just saw and heard.

It just hits reality!

I love this movie so much it was intense but great❤️💛

Great film, would watch it again and the film beautifully captures what goes on in an ex convicts heads and feelings even after being released from jail.

The dual portrait that Blindspotting offers is heady and dense and mighty compelling.

Slate

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

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