Not even bad in a good way

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

If your Victorian and love you local footy this is defiantly a great pick. Filmed in Torquay (Best known for its surf) but it has a great football ground. A story about how one action could rip apart friendships, a football club and a town. No doubt this movie isnt for everyone, but all local footy fans should check it out.

I found Blinder really compelling. Complex, unpredictable, great settings and really managed to fit in a lot of the details of going to the local footy. Torquay looks great in the movie and offers a fantastic variety of settings.My best guess on the bad ratings would be that it is is hard to keep track of chronology, and the some of the story-line crosses taboos. My favourite performance was Rose McIver as Sammy. Angus Sampson's Franky was also a highlight.I'd definitely recommend it.

I am really shocked to read all of the good reviews of this movie. I thought it was terrible; it was badly over-acted and the storyline was unrealistic. Anyone who knows anything about football must realize that the main characters dreams of being drafted after getting a few tackles while playing in the Bellarine league is ridiculous. The movie is about rape yet the word isn't mentioned once and the "villain" in the movie is the girl who was raped because she sent photos to a newspaper. Bad acting, bad storyline and a terrible representation of Australian culture. I gave it two out of ten because the girl who played the rape victim was the only shining light. Do yourself a favor and skip this film.

I really enjoyed this movie. I must admit, Im not by any means a football fan, but decided to take my teenage boys. Im so glad I did! We all got so much out of it. There was enough content in it to keep me happy and the boys really enjoyed the football parts.What I really enjoyed about this movie is that it made me think..... Im still thinking about parts of this movie two days later, and to me that's how I rate a good film.My Teenage boys got a lot out of this movie, parts of the film resonated with them and they found some of the speeches inspirational. I would recommend this great Aussie movie.... especially for those in teams or those that appreciate local football.
