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.

Interesting film, opera and rap tells the background and thinking, might be a big hit if released 2 years later

Pretty good. Intense and thought provoking, but it labours far too much and never really goes anywhere. Some of the scenes and characters are taken too far and become less believable as a result. Could have been better, but still worth a watch.

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.
