Nothing seemed 'right' with this film. Halfway through it, when we barely meet Danny Glover's character, he goes into 'narrator' mode, and it completely didn't fit with the film. Julianne Moore's character was also amiss, her thought process was laughable (you can see but you don't realize the advantages in critical times). All in all, it was 40 minutes too long, the film never struck a chord, and it felt like The Happening and The Mist combined (not good).

Strange story and weird movie. It's simular with the other movie Das Experiment. You put some people in a sort of prison without any guards and you can guess what will happen. The end was not so great and really crap.

One of the most frustrating, disgusting and stupid movies. Woman who can see chooses to live in squalor and pretends she cannot see. Fails to do much of anything in her vision-filled state as her quarantined prison becomes a disaster. Gets out, loses almost everybody else because of reasons. Sticks it out with the main cast who suddenly become blissful after it rains. I give it a few points for a large number of extras, a city full of trash, and a blind guy who has smell-o-vision.

I officially hate everything julianne moore now because of this movie. (spoilers) She has ALL the ability to do what noone else can, she can see amongst dozens of blind people and yet she never does anything until she has already led a bunch of women to get raped, herself included and one got killed, then when she does retaliate SHE LEAVES THE FUCKING GUN WITH THE BAD GUYS. fuck this movie. I hate julianne moore.

The premise of "Blindness" was promising, but ends up leading to absolutely nothing. It's painfully slow and irritating. The nameless "Doctor's Wife" does nothing to improve her situation, even with the gift of sight. She allows the people around her to be raped and starved, only afterwards doing what she was capable of from the first moment. Apparently being blind also causes you to go insane. This film looks like it wanted to be a zombie movie, but shouldn't be. People can survive blindness.

Awful. So awful and painful to watch. I cannot blame Fernando Meirelles, who has done the amazing City of God and The Constant Gardner, for the story, but I can blame him for wanting to adapt the unreadable book it is based on and selling it to us as one of his movies. I wanted every single character to die in this movie. There's a sequence of scenes so implausible in this movie that it defies description... I'm mad I'm even thinking about it. This movie is one of the worst ever made.

This allegorical film about people going blind one after another gave me quite a diverse feelings about it. I liked cast a lot, and i think all of them did an adequate job Also the idea of the story is really interesting, but somehow it seems script, or maybe director, focused not on the best angle of it.

Blindness is a successful adaptation of one of the best books ever written. Though it has its shortcomings in its inability to expose the true madness at hand and the absolute dive the human person can have when put into high-stress situations, it gets the visual torment correct and really does captivate its audience well. It would likely have been better as a mini-series or a longer film, Blindness is still well-shot and if you've read the book chances are strong it will still be riveting.

This movie is all these things: Bleak, sometimes predictable, hopeful, beautiful, ugly, ridiculous, realistic. Which makes it interesting. The acting is good, and so is the music. I found the heart in the movie, and the conflicts that Moore's character face makes sense. The unnamed city looked amazing.

Mr. Meirelles, I would like to commend you for giving me post-apocalyptic universe that has managed to haunt me and stay with me more than that of any alien invasion or zombie outbreak, crawling or running. Many of my fellow critics lambast your movie, and while I cannot honestly say that I found it without apparant flaws, I can assure you I was there from start to finish and I enjoyed it so much that I have been trying this entire blurb not to make some sort of sight-related joke.

Interesting concept, but poorly executed. There is *very* little tension early on in the movie, and while there is conflict later in the film, it consists not of the afflicted trying to deal with their blindness but of one group of quarantined trying to dominate the others through force and intimidation. Much of the early dialogue is sloppily expository, the last 30 minutes are all anticlimax, and the tacked-on happy ending is a complete ass-pull.

I guess the opposition Blindness has to face comes from the overhype the director and the novel automatically creates. Even if there are many opportunities lost in the process it's satisfying most of the time. What it lacks is powerful characterization. Events occur in tv series level obviousness.

The problem with Blindness is that in attempting to capture the many subtleties and allegories of its source material (a novel about how people socialize when stripped of all dignity, as well as other stuff), the movie pays little attention to believability. For instance, it takes 2/3 of the movie for our heroine to realize that by being the only person who can see, her tribe has an upper hand on its oppressors. Basically, the project is just toooo big for a scant two hours of celluloid.

The packaging is good as is the content, but it's hard to get through the packaging to the heart of the film. The acting is very good but it strives for raw humanity while the the direction seems bent on giving the film a surreal quality. While strong, they don't always mesh well together, obscuring any insights into humanity the film is trying to expose, beyond the obvious 'people do desperate things in desperate situations.' The ending speech is unnecessary, but the whole is still enjoyable.

Complete and utter garbage, devoid of even a basic level of entertainment value. It seems that some artistic circles decided that atrocity-level misery was a vital part of the human experience and that it somehow enriches us as individuals. Hence the book version recieving a nobel and being referred to as "the most important work of the twentieth century" when its exploitative and condescending nature should if anything be taken as further proof of the naval gazing desire of some to coopt misery

An unfortunately good cast tells a terrible story with a concept that could have worked if the entire movie hadn't been set in one location and wasn't so predictably dire. Some blind people got offended that the story said that society would break down into madness and you know what? They're right. Why does a few days after any weird event have to culminate in people rolling around in poop threatening to kill each other? Pretty stupid. But hey, like I said, good cast.

At times mind-num-bing-ly frustrating in its characters logic and decisions, this only just manages to make it to the finishing line without falling into complete annoyance. Its bleak view on human civilization in a crisis seems to be the films main argument, but prison rules kicks in a bit to soon for it to be believable. Not nearly as clever as it think it is.

Premise was interesting, acting was great, but somewhere in the middle I seem to have lost my willingness to think of this film was one of the best I have seen. Starts off strong, no explanation mass confusion. Slowly is becomes a film about sticking together, about relying on each other. Then even slower it becomes a film about divided moral, a fight for survival and learning to find yourself. And in the end it all reverts back to what it was. Ending was horrible, stop it with 10 minutes left.

It's not just matters of tone or performance that undo the film. There are problems with the plot that send the it swerving towards the detestable. It's so committed to playing out its allegory of social breakdown that it ignores logical responses the main character would have to dire situations, most notably when one band of interned patients begins oppressing the others. Meirelles remains a director with a knack for piercing moments; the bleakest sequences are presented with wrenching power.

Certainly not a bad film but it seems to lack the subtlety of its source material. Generally, I choose not to compare adaptations to the original story but this film tries hard to maintain the morality of Saramago's original novel. It succeeds in some respects (the acting especially) but what really upset me was the final voice over that literally lays out the entire subtext. Leave it to the audience to figure out what the movie is about, don't underestimate us.

That we are so blind, so blind we cannot even see what monsters we have turned into. Now i havent read the book and i know those who have dont think the movie did it right.

I kinda liked it, but I must say it was never really exciting or very dramatic. I did like the apocalyptic feel of the movie though. Also, some of the characters were just too annoying (like the asian guy and his crappy monologue around the fire in the prison, yuck!).

A dark affair, murky and ugly, depressing and full of morally bankrupt characters. I often questioned a lot of the actions of these people turned blind by an unexplained global epidemic or act of God. It's a maddening, destructive film full of allegories and disturbing imagery, and that's all dramatically fine if it lead somewhere, but I felt like nothing was ultimately said at all. That desperation leads us all to become savage animals? I don't know. It's not worth the slow drag.

The film is beautifully shot and constructed, and very loyal to the source material, however the characterisation fails to humanise the situation in the same way that made the novel so stunning.

An adaptation faithful and very original. I guess, that vary quite the view of those who watch. But I liked it. It is a great movie. Real, where possible, and quite exciting.

I liked this film more than I should have. Yeah the script was bad and directing decisions didn't make much sense at times but there was just something about this film that made me forgive some of those flaws.

A good message and solid acting performances can't save the movie from a horrible script and messy directing.

Equal to "Constant Gardener" in pretty much every respect, and I didn't like that one, either; it's an unpleasant slog through murky territory that's almost held afloat by a very strong lead performance. I'm sure the book is a fine piece of literature, but this adaptation just goes on and on until the eventual ambiguous and abrupt ending. When does it come? I don't know, whenever we're done missing the point.

There's no question that Meirelles is a talented director, he just needs to pick better material. Blindness is so bleak and emotionally draining, it actually becomes a struggle to want to continue being interested in the story. And after all is said and done, the film leaves a pretty "that was kind of pointless" aftertaste. The best things are Moore, Ruffalo, and the score.

Heavy, intense drama about people in the dark and terror (no rules, no laws).
