| Consequence of SoundMichael RoffmanSophie Goodhart's My Blind Brother has clear eyes on full hearts. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinHumor here, whether situational or emotionally-based, proves a smart balance of grounded and loopy. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreMy Blind Brother takes things in some very predictable directions, and Goodhart was too goodhearted to let Scott go full-bore jerk as Robbie. |
| Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesGoodhart’s film is a winner – sweet but not sentimental, tart without turning sour. The studio-produced romantic comedy may be flatlining, but who cares, so long as snappy indies like this one step up to fill the void? |
| RogerEbert.comMark DujsikKroll and Slate, though, give performances that have the opposite effect. They aren't the best people, but the relative goodness of their intentions is never in doubt. My Blind Brother puts these characters through the comic wringer, but the humor is founded on the characters and their flaws, not the circumstances. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerWith its three leads all having appeared repeatedly in the small-town setting of "Parks And Recreation," My Blind Brother sometimes feels like an alternate-world appendix to that beloved show. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerMichael HeatonSo fitting that a movie with such a large and benevolent heart comes from a writer and director of the same name. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyOIf you are a fan of the cast, or are looking for a better than average romantic comedy, My Blind Brother will certainly fulfill that need. |
| Brooklyn MagazineBenjamin MercerThese are intriguingly damaged individuals who are nonetheless shortly put through the motions of a rather forgettable love-triangle comedy. |
| The Film StageMichael SnydelBy the end, there’s a strange sense that the film has been both elongated and rushed in the way that it ends a few arcs, but it’s also an unusually sensitive romance that doubles as a showcase of three of our most talented modern comedic actors. |
