Just got back from seeing Blindspotting and am still gobsmacked by how good it was. If it’s not the most powerful movie I’ve ever seen, it’s in the top five. Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal (and the entire cast) are exquisite in their roles. And while the topics are heavy and there are scenes of almost unbearable tension, there are enough laugh-out-loud moments of humor to keep your stomach lining from digesting itself.
I’m from the Bay Area originally—Alameda-born, Oakland-educated—and the sub-theme of gentrification is right in sync with the reality. Honestly, the hipster jokes alone would be worth the price of admission, but the issues addressed in this movie are powerful, multi-layered, and freshly rendered. Absolutely loved it.
