Reviews
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
adonis98-743-186503 Collin 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, work as movers and are forced to watch their old neighborhood become a trendy spot in the rapidly gentrifying Bay Area, the two men struggle to maintain their friendship as the changing social landscape exposes their differences. Blindspotting is another dramedy that unfortunately did not work for me. Plus neither of the perfomances or the humor and drama were quite effective. (0/10)
steve beard I saw "Blindspotting", starring Daveed Diggs-Black_ish_tv, Wonder; Rafael Casal-his first movie; Janina Gavankar-Sleepy Hollow_tv, True Blood_tv and Ethan Embry-The Walking Dead_tv, Sweet Home Alabama. This is a look at race relations and how complicated things can get. Daveed-who is black-and Rafael-who is white-are best buds and have been since they were kids. Daveed is currently on probation and only has 3 days left before he is a free man-so he does not want to mess it up. It's not easy since Rafael is always acting 'gangster' and waving fire arms around while getting into fights. They both work for a moving company and Janina is their boss. Daveed used to date Janina but something happened that cooled their relationship, and sent Daveed to jail-that is why he is on probation. One night, just before his 11:00 pm curfew, Daveed sees Ethan, a white policeman, shoot an unarmed black man-he only shoots him 4 times in the back-and then Ethan gets a 'That_a_boy' for shooting an 'armed' man. At least, that's his story. The dilemma arises; should Daveed come forward and tell the truth and possibly get into trouble that would mess up his parole or keep quite? FYI: Daveed & Rafael are actually friends in real life and they both wrote and produced the movie. Oh yeah, the term blindspotting refers to seeing something or a situation and there being two different responses to what is seen. An example that is used in the movie is a picture of a vase that can also look like two people facing each other. It's rated "R" for language, violence, drug use and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 35 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD-once was enough-but it would be a good rental.
thirstydog-32613 It's hard to pick one thing about the film. Everything is done so well. Many of the same urban themes here are found in other films, but here it is done intelligently and with some pizazz. Well acted, charming and likeable characters. There are lots of layers here to make one sit back and think.There are some scenes where the film does seem to stand out from the standard fare. Scenes in which the film makers put theor own personal touch and voice. There are some dream sequences and hallucinatory sequences in which the film makers get to show off some of their film making chops. So while mostly a gritty realistic film, it does have just a touch of expressionistic surrealism within it. I enjoyed it very much.
aguylee-93802 I loved this movie because it smart, funny, and thought-provoking. The best movie I've seen in 2018! Acting and story are superb.
