A city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hoarding the meager food rations and committing horrific acts. There is, however, one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble.
Leave your thoughts about Blindness.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteMeirelles adds another perspective, that the epidemic might be a good thing if, by being thrown into the darkness together, we may once again recognize the human family to which we all belong. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisA perversely enjoyable, occasionally harrowing adaptation of José Saramago's 1995 disaster allegory. |
| Portland OregonianStan HallVisually nervy, beautifully acted, intense and philosophically compelling, it struggles to connect emotionally as it wrestles with the challenging source material. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAt times almost unbearably ugly, but by the time you walk out of the theater, you know you've seen something. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIt engaged me throughout and I found the ending to be surprisingly hopeful. |
| Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesIt's a rattling, heartrending performance (Moore) in, yes, a long, hard slough of a film – one that is well worth the journey, if not a repeat trip. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAs the players enact the fall and rebirth of civilization, Meirelles suggests that even a society gone to hell looks better with a little music-video-like pizzazz. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThere's a good movie here, but we get it in pieces that are sometimes hard to decipher. |
| NPRBob MondelloMoore is always watchable, Ruffalo and Bernal get a nice rivalry going without ever establishing eye contact (as it were), and Danny Glover has some nice moments in an underdeveloped part as an older man who finds, to his benefit, that love is blind. |
| New York PostKyle SmithI kept hoping the meaning would click into place, but it never quite did. |
