Blindness Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Stilted, claustrophobic and more stylish than substantial.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
It's the rare movie that dissects the blackness of the soul; rarer still are ones that manage to find the darkness beautiful.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Set in a nameless English-speaking city where people are suddenly stricken with sightlessness, it's an allegory that never rises to the level of believability.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The film is an often thought-provoking metaphor. But as a thriller, it becomes dreary.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
I have to admire a mainstream movie that's so overwhelmingly bleak, but that's the only real distinction of this dystopian sci-fi drama.
The New Republic
Christopher Orr
Blindness is a glum, ugly film, and pretentious in the bargain. But, perhaps least excusable, it is a fundamentally ill-conceived film, the visual depiction of a world without sight.
Washington Post
Neely Tucker
It's a beautiful car that never quite cranks up. The book is deep allegory, lost in time and place, describing a suffocating little world. It's hard to get at that in cinematic form.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Fernando Meirelles' Blindness is film as punishment; a literate and thoughtful work that's nonetheless so relentless in its bleached-out misery that you want to look away.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
I kept hoping the meaning would click into place, but it never quite did. The story seems designed to apply to whatever fear is nibbling around your subconscious.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Fernando Meirelles' awkward, repulsive yet richly imagined film uses sightlessness as a trigger for the breakdown of society.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Too many scenes strike the same note, and, at times, Blindness seems like a premise in search of a story, and an allegory in search of a meaning. But in its methodical and uncompromising way, it gets where it needs to go.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Doesn't show us anything we haven't seen before.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Murky and grainy, and showing human beings at their grimmest -- thievery, rape, betrayal, murder -- Blindness is no barrel of laughs. But it is a barrel of pretentious metaphorical musings.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Blindness leaves indelible images and unnerving feelings about physical and social disintegration. It is not easy to stomach.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But whatever power author José Saramago's original novel possessed has been lost in translation, this movie a frustratingly disgusting journey into degradation and despair seemingly without both point or end.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A perversely enjoyable, occasionally harrowing adaptation of José Saramago's 1995 disaster allegory.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The figures in Blindness have no names; that's how deep into the Valley of Allegory we are.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Blindness is not a great film. But it is, nonetheless, full of examples of what good filmmaking looks like.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
There's a good movie here, but we get it in pieces that are sometimes hard to decipher.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Blindness is a face-first dive into the horror of human nature -- call it Lord of the Blind Flies -- with several memorably harrowing scenes and a compelling cast.
