Bay Area. When a life-altering event causes Collin to miss his mandatory
curfew, the two men struggle to maintain their friendship as the changing
social landscape exposes their differences. Explores the intersection of race
and class set against the backdrop of Oakland. (Courtesy of Internet Movie

Having heard of this film through a friend, who highly
recommended it, as he is another film reviewer I felt this film needed to be
seen. The film I am talking about is BLINDSPOTTING. Looking at just the trailer
the film looked like it may be a musical and I quite possibly may not have been
down for that. Yet upon watching it I found a film that was not only
entertaining it spoke on some issues of our time from a perspective that didn’t
come off as propaganda. I also felt the collection of characters made for an
interesting take that showed how life can put us in situations that tests us.
So for BLINDSPOTTING I give it 4.5 stars of 5.
