Out of the trio of jukebox musical movies this year, Blinded by the Light is the one that flew under the radar the most, in contrast to the flashier Rocketman and more star-studded Yesterday. But the sweet, funny movie, based on the real-life experiences of cowriter Sarfraz Manzoor, is definitely worth a second look for its uplifting themes, willingness to tackle complicated issues without getting didactic, and genuine belief in the power of joy and music. In today's world, sometimes we just need a spark of hope and joy in our art, and Blinded by the Light has that in spades.
