Blindness (2008)
5/10
stylish but can be missed
30 April 2015
Unlike other viewers, I actually liked the "white flashes" and faded silhouettes effect. It is, after all, the film's unique signature and it's perfect for the theme. So that was not irritating. What WAS annoying, however, was the music. Extremely. And the overacting vs indifferent acting. Even though I'm a fan of Julianne's, I thought Bernal was the only one who pulled a convincing performance. The overall plot is interesting. What is not plausible however is how the only character who did not lose her eyesight could be bullied around for that long. If anything she should have been in control from the start. Would I recommend this movie ? Much like other dystopian movies, it is slow, gloomy and emotional. So if you like the latter, go ahead. But don't expect it to be a moving experience.
