Hard to imagine a more flawed film - Blindness review by CP Customer
This is truly dreadful. I was taken in by the talented actors in the cast, and they try their best with a plot that is frankly nonsense. There are so many flaws it is difficult to know where to start. But the most obvious problem is that the one sighted person in the hellish vision of a quarantined camp could so easily have been in control all the way through. The great actors in this must surely be embarrassed to have been involved. It's no wonder the various blind charities were outraged.
