Blink Review | Inspiring Documentary Turns Tragedy into Beauty
In the moving new documentary titled “Blink,” you might find yourself questioning whether directors Daniel Roher and Edmund Stenson could have emphasized more intensely the heart-wrenching elements of their subjects’ narrative. Given that the film is based on two Montreal parents who discover that three out of their four elementary-aged children are gradually losing their sight, it seems plausible to heighten the urgency or evoke sympathy for the tragic destiny looming over three charming and innocent youngsters. However, rather than focusing on the ticking clock or eliciting tears from the cruel fate, Roher and Stenson opt for a more profound and uplifting approach.
