Blinded by the Light's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
It?s the sort of unguarded drama they used to make in the ?80s - a coming-of-age tale of unabashed earnestness - but it?s also a delirious and romantic rock ?n? roll parable.
The Wrap
'Blinded by the Light' is corny, silly, as overblown as one of Springsteen?s grandest anthems and damn near irresistible.
Indiewire
If you have even the slightest emotional connection to Springsteen?s music - if you?ve ever found salvation in a rock song, or desperately wished that you could change your clothes, your hair, your face - this giddy steamroller of a movie is going to flatten you whether you like it or not.
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie is just as faithful to the formula as 'Bend It Like Beckham' and just as reliant on its lead's likability; here, newcomer Viveik Kalra radiates enough guileless enthusiasm to carry viewers past the film's rough patches.
The Guardian
There?s something so constructed and suffocating about watching a tried and tested formula not working, the over-sentimental string-pulling on show for all to see.
