Drama • 2025 • R

Blindsighted is a 2025 American Christian psychological thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Sofia Coppola, and starring Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Mackenzie Foy, Pedro Pascal, Ashley Johnson, Laurence Fishburne, and Melissa McBride. It follows a Christian teenage girl born with congenital blindness who, after surviving a near-fatal car accident that kills her father, is gifted the ability to read minds, feel one's emotions, and predict miracles of God. Distributed entirely by Angel Studios and a co-production between Legendary Pictures and RatPac-Dune Entertainment, Blindsighted opened in theaters on January 27th, 2025; it was a blockbuster success and earned $1.45 billion worldwide, making it the first Christian film to gross over $1 billion and thus, the highest-grossing Christian film of all time. The film received universal and critical acclaim, with many calling it Coppola's magnum opus and widely praising its visual effects, direction, editing, style, cinematography, the performances of Armstrong and Foy, score, themes, and emotional weight; however, many Christians and Catholics, while equally praising the film, found its extreme violence to be overt and emotionally draining, calling the film "heartbreaking" for its entire story in addition. Among its accolades, Blindsighted won numerous Academy Awards including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Visual Effects, while Armstrong received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
