About Blind

Years after a devastating car crash leaves him blind and takes his wife, a once prolific novelist retreats from the world. He learns to navigate life without sight, relying on memory, touch, and the steady routine of daily tasks while clinging to the craft that once defined him. When a possible spark returns in the form of a forbidden attraction with the neglected wife of a powerful businessman who stands accused, he is pulled toward danger and longing in equal measure. The liaison unsettles his fragile sense of self and forces him to reassess danger, loyalty, and what it means to write again. The story centers on love, guilt, and the stubborn pull of creativity.

Directed by Michael Mailer, Blind was released in 2017. It stems from the collaboration of Diane Fisher and John Buffalo Mailer and features Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore in lead roles, supported by Steven Prescod and Eden Epstein.

Reception has been mixed with a modest audience score of 6.2 out of 10 from 152 votes. The film leans into an intimate character drama, exploring resilience after tragedy, the moral tension of love outside marriage, and how creativity survives when sight fades, doubts linger, and desire returns.
