Blinded by the Light (2019)

Nice! A little uneven, maybe? And somewhat a little too generous with pop hits from 1987 in the beginning? But... performances were engaging and spot on. There is something very heartfelt and hopeful about this film in a family friendly kind of way. I like some of the subtle touches, from seeing the big mobile phone from the past, to a moment when racial superiority raised its head in ignorance, to the joys and pains of being young and always longing for something more, and running through the streets like there's no tomorrow. And no, you don't need to be a Springsteen fan to dig this.
