Blindness

"A brilliant idea that seems to lack the vision to be great. (...) begins with a powerful and disorienting sense of foreboding. But the middle lags, and by the film's conclusion, you're left feeling curiously unsatisfied (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

"There's a good movie here, but we get it in pieces that are sometimes hard to decipher."

"At times almost unbearably ugly, but by the time you walk out of the theater, you know you've seen something."

"Meirelles' slickly crafted drama rarely achieves the visceral force, tragic scope and human resonance of Saramago's prose"

"An arresting, often riveting film that is fascinating to look at but not nearly so interesting to watch"
