Critics Consensus

As timely as it is overall impactful, Blindspotting blends buddy comedy with seething social commentary, and rises on the strength of Daveed Diggs' powerful performance.

4/5

A mercurial and explosive film, Blindspotting nimbly parses conflicts about race, rent, incarceration and gentrification.

4/5

What could have been laboured and polemical is deftly handled, defused with comedy and powered by a pulsating score.

4/5

By equal turns tense and witty but with plenty of perceptive social commentary to go around, this is a film that only gets more rewarding the more you look under its surface.

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

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

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 movie tried to do something but it failed. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. It’s almost there but it is missing something. It needs a wow factor.

It's a ripoff from Blacklist, season 2 started to drag all the way to the end, the writers made the unknown so obvious, Jane character is very annoying because she acts tough but stupid at the same time. Imagine wiping the memory of the one you want Intel from and leaving the one person you trying to stop alive after you had a gun pointed to her. This reminds me of Hogan Heroes, sandstorm is Hogan and his guys and tye FBI is portrayed like colonel Klink.

The movie finds an elegant balance between it's more hard edge commentary and the broad humor. I think because Diggs and Casal are real life friends, there is an authenticity to the movie that might not be there otherwise.

Funny as it is emotional, "Blindspotting" shows us how the greatest form of discrimination is ignorance. The complex friendship between the two lead characters makes for exceptional viewing and analysis. Like a well-timed bomb, you feel the fuse as it slowly begins to light until it hits you with an explosive pay-off!
