Blinded By The Light is een ontroerend voorbeeld van hoe wij onszelf herkennen in muziek en hoe onze waardering van die muziek kan veranderen door onze levenservaringen. Gooi daar nog eens een lading humor en een Springsteen sausje overheen en je hebt een aandoenlijk drama te pakken. Lees meer

Blinded by the Light is prima gemaakt, maar wist me onvoldoende te raken. Als je echter wel z’n muziek kent zal de ervaring ongetwijfeld anders. Lees meer

Viveik Kalra is going to be a star and I look forward to whatever he does next. The humanity he injects into Javed is what makes this so much a must-see film. It’s funny, sadly still poignant and definitely worth the almost two-hour runtime. Yeah, that’s kinda long, but it flies by. Lees meer

Hell no, you don’t have to be a superfan of Springsteen to enjoy Blinded by the Light, but it sure helps. Even if The Boss is not your ideal vibe, the sprightly emotions on-screen cannot help but target and trigger your own matching passionate feelings... Lees meer

Chadha (Bend it Like Beckham) manages a wonderful tonal balance, juggling humor (watch for that hilarious Rob Brydon cameo), coming of age pathos, blaring 80s hits, a mighty timely social conscience and even extended dance sequences. Lees meer

Yet, while the film does fail to completely craft a coherent two-hour film that can both provide the audience a glimpse at the joy in Javed’s heart when he hears Bruce Springsteen and a glimpse at the pain experienced in Thatcher’s Britain, the final message of the film allows for a resolution where both can still exist, albeit unevenly.

Powered by Chadha's energetic direction, Blinded by the Light overcomes its formulaic narrative to deliver an infectiously endearing experience. Lees meer

Blinded by the Light is a squeaky clean, highly sanitised movie. This is a easily digestible and earnest movie with its heart at the right place, plus a a clearcut message of tolerance, diversity and racial reconciliation. Lees meer

Ultimately, the lesson of Blinded by the Light is that culture is a conversation, not a monologue. If that isn't a message for 2019, I don't know what is. Lees meer

While it’s all quite predictable, the way that people use music to find themselves is an honest foundation to build a film like this on. A perfectly alright film with a great soundtrack, it will resonate especially with Springsteen fans and the South Asian community . Lees meer

Inspiring? Not to me. Lamentably, this bland exercise, cooked with euphoric floridness, never goes deeper than the surface. Lees meer
