Blindspotting Now in Theaters
While people will be flocking to theaters to see the new Mission Impossible movie, which is pretty great but a little long in my opinion, there’s another movie you should put on your radar – Blindspotting. It’s set in Oakland and stars real-life best friends Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal who also co-wrote the movie. Diggs, who won a Grammy and a Tony for his role in Hamilton and who I also loved for his small role in Wonder, plays Colin who has to make it through his final three days of probation. Casal plays his childhood best friend Miles. Together they work as movers and find their friendship tested when Colin witnesses a police shooting.
I really loved this movie. There were so many layers and issues that my mind was reeling in the very best way. It’s one of those movies that I had to sit and process for a while long after the credits ended.
I had the chance to talk to Daveed and Rafael about the movie, and you can check it out here…
