Review of 'Blindness' on Goodreads
4 stars
Unfortunately I'd seen the film, so it'd been kinda ruined. Would have been 4 or 5 stars otherwise.
It's tight, economical, clear and overall well done. Almost sculptured at times. Character development and small spiritual journeys. Unique. All good.
Has a weird 'morality', lots of sayings and religious references, interrogations about good and evil, and hell scenes for the wicked and, later, the innocent. This morality and the hints and reality of the bad being punished was interesting but didn't really add anything.
