Critics Consensus: As timely as it is overall impactful, Blindspotting blends buddy comedy with seething social commentary, and rises on the strength of Daveed Diggs' powerful performance.

Racism, gentrification, police brutality, start-up culture, corporate branding, social media, the justice system ... Blindspotting is eager to take them all on with style and wit, and it succeeds more often than not.
"Blindspotting" is directed with fervor by first-timer Carlos López Estrada, who brings its simmering tensions to a boil without letting the pot overflow.
[Casal and Diggs'] talent and charisma are all but undeniable, and their ambition is impossible not to admire, but their execution is confused - fatally so, from a storytelling standpoint.
The film moves like a pendulum between the comforting tone of a buddy comedy and dark themes of systemic racism and police brutality.
See the movie, for its urgency, for its performances, and for the vibrant portrait of a community being erased in the names of progress and profit.
Blindspotting is a compelling film with much to say about subjects like gentrification and race - things it approaches with a mix of wit and seriousness.
Gripping, authentic, tense, uproarious and strong, Blindspotting is a superb achievement.
Blindspotting is a triumph of a film that mixes insightful social commentary with a buddy comedy and is also not afraid to dip into more serious material from time to time.
With the vibrancy and kineticism similar to the recent Dope, but a simmering righteous anger evoking a young Spike Lee, Blindspotting... is primed to unleash hell on the American public when it drops in theaters.
When watching Blindspotting, it's hard to tell that it is the first major film from co-writers/co-stars Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal and the feature directorial debut for director Carlos Lopez Estrada - because it's just that good.
Not only did the acting impress me, but the story and themes present throughout were incredibly relevant.
The story explodes on screen and it is hard not to feel its effects.
