It’s impossible to overstate the range of emotions, from heartbreak to delight to humility, conjured by the new documentary Blink, which is also visually dazzling thanks to its pedigree as a National Geographic Documentary.

Screen Rant
Instead of simply marveling at the beauty of the world, Blink invites us to step out of our comfort zone and explore everything the world has to offer.

Somewhere along the road between Montreal and Mongolia, Namibia and Nepal, Egypt and Ecuador, “Blink” achieves a transcendent state of grace.

There’s a bittersweet poignancy in watching the children bond with animals and people during their travels before beginning the next leg of their journey.

Collider
As audience members, we experience the highs and lows of the Pelletier’s journey together, never divorced by what drove the desire to experience the world, and reminded throughout how in our own lives we must, whenever possible, make the same choices to seize the moment and make good memories as best as we can.

Variety
The sight loss the children are experiencing is irreversible, and it’s naturally difficult to find the positive angle on that, but their parents are determined to give it their best shot, and the film follows their lead.

The Guardian
The film-makers never probe psyches very deeply, not even the parents’. It’s just one contemporary travelogue cliche after another, admittedly beautifully shot in super high definition.

Blink é um documentário cheio de vida, narrando a histórias de uma família cujos filhos nascem com uma degenerativa da visão, e sem se entregar ao melodrama, partem em viagem para preservar memórias e paisagens ao vivo antes de 3 deles perderem a capacidade de enxergar Uum filho, porém, está saudável). Seria muito fácil entregar-se a apelos, mas o que contará aqui é a alegria e união, por mais que todos estejam cientes dasdificuldades. Dando a volta ao mundo em ambientes simples, para economizar na grana, ao menos o filme não é econômico nas paisagens, linda demais, registradas com muito afeto. Em muitos momentos há amadorismos, e lá pelas tantas o enredo cansa, além de algumas passagens serem inesperadamente cortadas de forma abrupta (por exemplo, se estende mais nas aldeias do que em outros ambientes, a cena do teleférico também parece que ficou faltando um desfecho). Mas é aquilo, a edição fez o que pode já que se trata de uma obra não ficcional. Muito gostoso acompanahr a jornada.
