Blindspotting
"...fatally so, from a storytelling standpoint. (The climactic speech, to name a clear example, may garner your admiration, but it loses your engagement in the process. Ditto the goofily narrated conflict that sets our hero on his path to prison and back again.)" If this is the crux of your critique your analysis is surface and deeply flawed. Of the millions of people who have seen the film worldwide very few were "disengaged" by the scene you mentioned. If the entirety of people who saw the film were split into two groups, there'd be you standing in a desert with maybe a few clueless stragglers who were "disengaged", and the rest of the large majority of people who were engaged would be on the other side of the line. As for "the goofily narrated conflict"...What? Where's your evidence? Weak observation. Just saw the film with five people at home and we loved it. Good mix of drama and comedy, well executed and compelling and entertaining to boot.— February 21, 2020 8:19 a.m.
