Blink

A really interesting and uplifting film about people facing adversity and the triumph of love over despair.

The slow drip of sanctification, forced down with an especially saccharine score, may be enough to make some viewers go off the film and even the subjects themselves as they enjoy the dream holiday of a lifetime.

I was deeply moved by this documentary... It's not just a travelogue but a profound statement about seizing the day.

We’ve all seen breathtaking footage of the natural world before... but the eye-level footage of the children playing together, wrestling and fighting and engaging with imaginary worlds of their own devising feels fresh.

Directors Daniel Roher and Edmund Stinson wisely allow the innate drama of this journey to rise to the surface amid the recognizable rhythms of daily life.

Yes, there’s family chaos, tears will be shed, but the compelling, compassionate nonfiction film captures the conscious creation of a deep emotional connection that’s universal.

A nice documentary about a family trying to make the best out of a bad situation

Steering clear of cheap sentimentality...a wide-eyed testament to the unique brand of bravery only families, standing astride misfortune with a defiant, come-and-get-us stance, can nurture.

Blink is a breathtaking achievement in documentary filmmaking. Barely a moment is wasted, almost as if the movie, like its subjects, values the preciousness of time.

Bittersweet, heartfelt, and visually glorious, Blink is a story of a Canadian family that gets dealt an awful hand through a combination of genetics and fate, and their desire to make the most of an increasingly trying situation.
