    Reaaally vibed with this. Maybe I'm ready to start loving more Malick stuff.

    Holy shit! BLIND SPOT is amazing! A 100 min - one take - agonizing tour de force. From the pinnacle of mundanity it plunges into the deepest pit of trauma. Whatever the polar opposite of a joyride is - this is it. In all its visceral unpleasantness.

    ★★★★½

    Simultaneously the sweetest and saddest film about bullying. The child actors own it, and the story beats ring very true. Feels like it's written from experience.
