I am really shocked to read all of the good reviews of this movie. I thought it was terrible it was badly over-acted and the storyline was unrealistic.
Slow to start, and most of the first half of this movie really feels like you would have to be an Australian Ex-patriot in their mid thirties, or forties to really appreciate it, but this is a good movie that has real heart, and a good cast. All that said I am no fan of Aussie rules footie, but the NFL holds no place in my heart either so meh.
This movie was fantastic, my husband and I have been waiting for this to come out, and went to see it last night - we can not speak more highly of this film... It was motivating, real, honest and so well shot !
Being an American in Australia, I'm an outsider to footy culture and was a little apprehensive about going to see Blinder. That being said...
I really enjoyed this movie. I must admit, Im not by any means a football fan, but decided to take my teenage boys.
Blinder is an uplifting movie with some great football action in it. It showed surprising depth and an emotional side many football movies fail to portray.
Just caught this movie last night - was pretty impressed by the overall product.A good honest tale, showing how mate-ship in Australia holds blokes together.
I really enjoyed it, made me laugh, made me cry.Well acted, well directed, with a great Aussie soundtrack behind it.
It's about time someone brought out a movie about our great game. All ages will enjoy this film there's something in it for everyone.
