Blind fizzles out demonstrably as it progresses...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 27, 2019

While the film's mischievous narrative manipulation will inevitably irk some viewers, this beautifully rendered opportunity to view the world through the eyes of those who can no longer see is a moving portrayal of living with an ocular condition.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2019

Riddling in cinema can have diminishing returns.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 2017

"It's the dance between the two - the heady ideas and the depth of feeling - that make "Blind" such a joy to watch, keeping it from being either an exercise in meta in pathos."

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 22, 2015

Joachim Trier's ("Oslo, August 31st") cowriter Eskil Vogt makes his directorial debut with a story that calls back to the structure of "Reprise" as if crossed with Jeremy Podeswa's "The Five Senses."

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 1, 2015

It's a fascinating exploration of the things that can thrive in the soil of a jealous mind, fertilized by suspicion and a lack of sight.

With heightened sounds and Petersen's assured performance, Blind evocatively depicts the small triumphs and frustrating defeats of Ingrid's daily existence.

Despite its heady eroticism, it maintains an almost clinical detachment that engages your mind without making your heart leap.

| Sep 3, 2015

Blind is a sharp, pleasant surprise that delves into the psyche of a woman reconfiguring her entire way of comprehending the world around her.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 3, 2015

This is a haunting puzzle of a movie, one to pick at, to unpeel, to see a second time through eyes that have adjusted to it.

Pettersen is absolutely riveting to watch on screen.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 1, 2015

Unfortunately, the film's occasionally thrilling visual sleight-of-hand comes at the ultimate service of a boilerplate early-mid-life-crisis drama.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 31, 2015

However you interpret it, Vogt's film lingers, haunting like imagery that refuses to fade away in memory.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 5, 2015

These lonely, possibly imagined secondary characters are portrayed with the same depth of feeling as the married couple but are even more engrossing as psychological projections of the wife.

| Jun 4, 2015

All this nesting-doll storytelling might feel hollow if Blind didn't possess such a solid emotional foundation.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 4, 2015

Tactically clever, textured and tactile, boldly visualized, Vogt's depiction of the life of the newly sightless Ingrid , plays with comic and tragic complications, and questions of identity and seeing versus being seen, but is at its best just... watching.

| Jun 2, 2015

Blind is a strikingly beautiful and intuitive escape into the mind of a blind person, and Vogt writes and directs the film as if he has experienced such terror.

| Original Score: A | May 6, 2015

Despite moments of humour and Petersen's convincing inhabitation of Ingrid, it evinces the deliberateness of an exercise.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2015

[An] intriguing Oslo-set drama ...
