Critical response [edit]

The Bullheaded Side received mixed to positive reviews, with critics widely praising Sandra Bullock's performance. Review assemblage website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 66%, based on 205 reviews, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The site'south critical consensus reads, "It might strike some viewers as a little besides pat, but The Bullheaded Side has the benefit of potent source material and a stiff performance from Sandra Bullock."[21] Metacritic, which assigned a score of 53 out of 100, based on reviews from 29 critics, indicating "mixed or boilerplate reviews".[22] Audiences polled past CinemaScore gave the film a rare "A+" grade.[23]

A. O. Scott of The New York Times commented on the performances: "Ms. Bullock is disarming enough as an energetic, multitasking adult female of the New S, who knows her own listen and usually gets her ain fashion. And Tim McGraw, as Leigh Anne'south affable husband, Sean, inhabits his character comfortably and knows how to get out of Ms. Bullock's way when necessary." He found the pic to be "made up almost entirely of turning points and nevertheless curiously devoid of drama or suspense" and called it a "live-activity, reality-based version of a Disney cartoon: information technology'due south the heartwarming tale of a foundling taken in by strangers, who accept him fifty-fifty though he'southward different and treat him every bit ane of their own."[24]

Co-ordinate to Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter, Bullock's character is an "irrepressible hoot in author-director John Lee Hancock's otherwise thoroughly conventional have on Michael Lewis' fact-based book." In spite of her "feisty" and "energetic" performance, he felt that there was a lack of development concerning Michael'southward grapheme: "Not until the end of the film do we ever get a chance to really see what'south going on in Oher'south head—how he feels nearly existence the chosen 1 plucked from the poverty-stricken projects of Memphis and thrown into this protected, nonliberal-leaning environment of privilege."[25] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian described Bullock'southward appearance as "strangely humourless" and felt that "[t]hither is something weirdly absent about this operation." Overall, he opined that the movie provided "a Photoshopped [sic] paradigm of reality that is bland, parochial, and stereotypically acted," and concluded: "In that location is a rich, circuitous story to be told near Michael Oher, and his mentor, Leigh Anne Tuohy. But this waxwork parade isn't it."[26]

Race controversy [edit]

Jeffrey Montez de Oca of the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs writes that in The Blind Side'south portrayal of adoption, "clemency operates as a signifying human action of whiteness that obscures the social relations of domination that not just make clemency possible but also creates an urban underclass in need of charity."[27] Melissa Anderson of the Dallas Observer argues that the "mute, docile" portrayal of Oher effectively endorses the Uncle Tom stereotype of African-American submission to white authority.[28]

In her book, White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo criticised The Bullheaded Side'south perpetuation of "negative racial stereotypes", calling it "fundamentally and insidiously anti-black". She refers to a scene in which Oher returns to his stereotypically violent former neighbourhood, only leaving when Tuohy rescues him from it. She also argues that the picture portrays Oher as a simpleton who uses instinct over intellect, equally a psychological exam concludes that Oher has picayune "ability to learn" but much "protective instinct" (a scientifically nonsensical argument, according to DiAngelo).[24] [29]

Michael Oher has as well voiced his displeasure with the moving picture and takes particular exception to its portrayal of his intelligence. In his volume, I Beat The Odds: From Homelessness, to The Blind Side, and Beyond, Oher wrote, "I felt like it [the movie] portrayed me as dumb instead of equally a kid who had never had consistent academic educational activity and concluded upwardly thriving one time he got it."[30] [31] [32] The film's claim that he didn't understand football was some other point of irritation for Oher. When talking well-nigh watching his adoptive family unit teach him he said, "No, that's not me at all! I've been studying—really studying—the game since I was a child!"[thirty] [32] Despite his displeasure with his portrayal in the motion-picture show Oher has stated that he likes the film's message of perseverance and the general treatment of the Tuohy family unit and has been quoted as saying, "It's a nifty story. Information technology seems similar they helped me to get to this betoken. They're my family and without them I wouldn't exist here," and "They taught me a lot of things, showed me a lot of different things. It shows that if y'all help somebody and requite somebody a chance and don't approximate people, look where they can get to."[33]
