Of note: I will admit that my A- review from Sundance (below) should probably now, after further reflection, be lowered to a B+. Here’s the concluding paragraph of my Sundance review dated 1.29.19: “This is easily Chadha’s best movie since “Bend it Like Beckham,” taps into a similar rousing spirit and is destined to become a huge hit that crosses generational and cultural lines—not unlike the way Springsteen’s music lifted up a Pakistani teenager in the 1980s thousands of miles away in Great Britain. This is perhaps the true heartrending power of Chadha’s film, one that need not dwell too much about race and culture, because the uniting love of a soulful rock spiritually is universally uniting. The Boss would be proud.” “Blinded by the Light” is released theatrically in the U.S. on Friday August 16th. Contribute Hire me
