What's it about: Based on a novel, Blindness revolves around a story where an entire city is under attack from a condition that causes white blindness. There's chaos and mayhem as the administration breaks down as people start taking undue advantage of the situation.

Julianne Moore is the only one who has retained her eyesight in the situation. Married to a doctor (Ruffalo), she now has to not just survive but also help others and try to bring order to the craziness around her.

What's hot: It's Julianne Moore all the way. Despite a flawed character and gaping holes in the plot, Moore manages to deliver a strong performance. Gael Garcia Bernal, who plays a negative character scares you with his evil demeanour.

His scene where he leads a unit to rape a woman is very disturbing. The cinematography works well in creating the right mood. Ruffalo as Moore's husband excels in whatever little he does.
