Blindsight Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
To see how these conflicts play out, to see how both sides came to realize that they had unexpected things to learn from these remarkable young people, is where Blindsight really makes its mark.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Coying and manipulative.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
A blind man climbs to the top of Mount Everest in Blindsight, and that's just the beginning of the drama.
Oregonian
Stan Hall
Walker's film is a sure tearjerker, but the sentiments aren't cheap.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It is a truly one-of-a-kind story of survival, persistence and achievement, and by the time it was over I was moved so thoroughly beyond words I almost didn't know what to do next.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
You take them with you as you leave the theater, knowing that your bad day probably isn't as rough as you first thought and inspiring the realization that anyone can climb the peaks of their own lives. It's a must-see.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Walker captures all the dreamy-scary beauty of Everest's upper reaches, as well as numerous mini-dramas about the kids' readiness to approach the summit.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Bill White
A moving and touching documentary.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
A gentle but riveting story of perseverance and inspiration.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
It's doubtful whether even a dream team of Hollywood's best and brightest creative minds could have come up with a tale that's more fascinating or more inspirational than Blindsight.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
The film is often breathtakingly beautiful, and even as the students triumph over the naysayers, it's melancholy knowing they aren't sharing viewers' experiences of their starkly gorgeous world.
San Francisco Chronicle
Tamara Straus
Simultaneously a sports adventure film, a tear-jerking tale of hope and inspiration and a captivating meditation on culture clash.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Blindsight is hugely affecting, the rare experience that will make those who watch it thankful for what they have, yet make them realize that they aren't nearly thankful enough.
Boston Globe
The film overcomes its crude production values and awkward structuring. It stirs you.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Blindsight makes us consider an apparent paradox that, for the blind, is the philosophical starting point of their day: how to see things the human eye won't register.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Lucy Walker's observant film Blindsight is about profound East-West differences in the importance of journey versus destination and comradeship versus competition.
Newsday
John Anderson
There are enough good stories for three movies in Lucy Walker's Blindsight, an exhilarating trip with six blind Tibetan teenagers as they scale one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Featuring exceptional people doing extraordinary things, Blindsight is one of those documentaries with the power to make you re-examine your entire life.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Uninterested in revolutionizing the documentary form, Blindsight instead proves the enduring potential afforded by straightforward verité filmmaking methods.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
The deceptively complex pic gradually grows sharp edges and snowballs into a compelling study in culture clash, with spectacular scenery to boot.
