Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) A really interesting and uplifting film about people facing adversity and the triumph of love over despair. Nov 24, 2024 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian The slow drip of sanctification, forced down with an especially saccharine score, may be enough to make some viewers go off the film and even the subjects themselves as they enjoy the dream holiday of a lifetime. Rated: 2/5 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) I was deeply moved by this documentary... It's not just a travelogue but a profound statement about seizing the day. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) A nice documentary about a family trying to make the best out of a bad situation Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Bill Newcott The Saturday Evening Post Steering clear of cheap sentimentality...a wide-eyed testament to the unique brand of bravery only families, standing astride misfortune with a defiant, come-and-get-us stance, can nurture. Rated: 4/5 Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express Blink is a breathtaking achievement in documentary filmmaking. Barely a moment is wasted, almost as if the movie, like its subjects, values the preciousness of time. Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
