Blinder (2013)

Pretty Good

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I found Blinder really compelling. Complex, unpredictable, great settings and really managed to fit in a lot of the details of going to the local footy. Torquay looks great in the movie and offers a fantastic variety of settings.My best guess on the bad ratings would be that it is is hard to keep track of chronology, and the some of the story-line crosses taboos. My favourite performance was Rose McIver as Sammy. Angus Sampson's Franky was also a highlight.I'd definitely recommend it.

A great Aussie movie that takes us to grass roots football at its best. It is set in a beautiful beach location that provides us with an eye catching backdrop for this Australian movie. Great cast, thoroughly enjoyable , realistic story line . Takes you on a journey about Life and the choices you make and how it could effect yours and others futures. Kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. Showcases Aussie rules in a country rural setting. There are some classic one liners that make you laugh. Some iconic acting by well regarded classic Australian actors such as Jack Thompson etc. Good to see a Aussie movie with an Aussie flavour. If its a classic Aussie movie you are looking for make sure you see it! Thanks and enjoy!

I am too young to remember the Club so Blinder is my first film about our footy. I found it highly entertaining with enough footy action to keep the boys happy and the girls from thinking there's too much. Had to bribe my girlfriend to go and see it and because she enjoyed it I do not need to suffer through a chick flick for the next 3 months.Blinder is a real story about how one night of partying can not only change your life but also the lives of your friends forever. It's about being mates in a small club and community where in the end everybody sticks together and it doesn't matter what happened or for how many years you have not seen each other.I highly recommend this movie and think there's a good lesson for young boys/adults who think because you play footy and are hailed as 'hero's' in your community, it doesn't take much for things to get out of hand to change your life.

I went to see this movie, after my cousin mentioned how much he enjoyed it. So I dragged my partner along,who was very happy to being seeing a sports movie instead of a chick flick for once, and we both really enjoyed it. I found it to be extremely motivational. Not being involved in sports growing up, I haven't ever been part of a team, so I found it very inspirational.My partner thought Angus was hilarious, and is still saying little quotes from the movie. Some of the emotional scenes impacted on me greatly, so much so that I got a bit teary. I laughed, I cried, I was motivated & inspired. I think if your looking for a movie that appeals to everyone on some level then this is it.
