Did You Know?

Trivia:
Several images in the film are directly lifted from the paintings of Lucian Freud. These include the nude woman laying face down on the bed in the mental hospital as well as the man laying on his back with his arm over his face with a whippet at his side.See more »
Goofs:
Factual errors: The pistol used in the movie appears to be a snub-nosed revolver, typically holding between 5 to 10 bullets. The number of rounds fired off without any indication of reloading is closer to 15 throughout the "Ward 3" standoff.See more »

If there was a point to this movie, I completely missed it, 9 September 2012
Author: ldw-eg from san francisco bay area

I assume that "absolutely no point" won't be considered a spoiler. "Blindness" is essentially a 2 hour long "shaggy dog story". (See Wikipedia.)

Wasting 2 hours watching this steaming pile of junk should make me remember to check IMDb before watching a movie I never heard of. Sat there for 2 hours wondering "where is this going?", only to get to the end to find out that the answer is "nowhere." What I'd like to find out is where the program guide shown on TiVo came up with 2.5 stars (out of possible 4) for this. I hope that whoever green-lighted this movie has left the film industry.

This might have been tolerable as a half-hour short, but stretching it to 2 hours was inexcusable.

After further thought, it now occurs to me that maybe the point was to make the viewer suffer in order to have empathy for the characters. It succeeded at the suffering part. Yet it doesn't generate empathy for the characters. For an example of a downer concept done right, generating empathy for the characters, see the excellent "Testament" (1983).
