Blindspotting is one of the funniest films of 2018 while also being the most thematically potent one as well.

| Aug 7, 2024

A wildly entertaining film, one of the year’s funniest, and predictively the 2018 film that may age better than the rest.

| Jul 2, 2024

With biting humor, tense cultural relevance and the best use of hip hop I’ve seen in film in a long time, this movie is this generation's Do the Right Thing.

...the picture benefits substantially from the stellar performances by (and palpable chemistry between) the two central characters...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 4, 2023

Carlos Estrada’s film, if not the best of the year, is the most important. Blindspotting is shocking, powerful, provocative, incendiary, even funny. It’s ripped from the moment. It encapsulates today’s modern indignation. It’s a contemporary classic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 16, 2022

With vivid filmmaking, outrage, poetics, humor, and a yearning for contemplation, Blindspotting asks for discourse about why things are the way they are, and how we can change them.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 11, 2022

It's an explosive debut for all involved, with Diggs and Casal delivering layered, fleet-footed performances, and turning in an inflammatory script that makes sure to nail its central thesis home in the most lasting fashion.

Thoughtful and impressionistic...

| Original Score: 64/100 | Aug 27, 2021

Bold, electric, funny and intense.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 21, 2021

Blindspotting easily breaks the confines of Black and white binaries.

| Original Score: B | Jul 8, 2021

Feels authentic. Perhaps it's because of the warm camaraderie between Diggs and Casal or perhaps it's because of the sense of nuance given to large scale issues of race, loyalty and class.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2021

This tightrope-traversing masterpiece crackles with empathy, insight, and energy - more than energy, a kind of soulful electricity.

| Dec 15, 2020

Wildly energetic, stylish, with an enormous bass-thumping soundtrack and a lot to say about everyday racial relations today...

Dynamic debut director Carlos López Estrada shows impressive control right from the opening credits, a symbolic series of split screens juxtaposing gritty bodegas on the left with gentrified Whole Foods on the right.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 29, 2020

Diggs plays the part refreshingly straight, providing most of the film's resonance.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

Diggs and Casal are such a perfect comedy team that I'm going to have to insist that they make a series of road movies together over the next 10 years or so.

What Paul Haggis tried to do with CRASH, BLINDSPOTTING does, putting the Best Picture winner to shame while doing it.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 4, 2020

Blindspotting is 95 minutes long, with tight storytelling of a truly compelling narrative that is made all the more intense with the pace it is told at. It's one of reasons it was my favourite film of 2018.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 3, 2020

The issues of living in an American city circa 2018-from the justice system to gentrification-tied up with a little poetry, a little anxiety, and a whole lot of Oakland flavor.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 10, 2020

Intense performances shine the spotlight on race, poverty, police shootings, guns, education and more current issues in a well paced, well placed, dark comedy capped with a stunning climactic rap poetry slam.
