My Blind Brother is a 2016 romantic comedy-drama that was directed by Sophie Goodhart. The movie stars Adam Scott, Nick Kroll, and Greg Violand. The film explores the lives of two brothers; one of whom is visually impaired, while the other is living in his shadow. The movie opens with Bill (Nick Kroll) participating in a marathon that is in aid of raising money for individuals with visual impairments. His blind brother, Robbie (Adam Scott), accompanies him, but he is not the most enthusiastic about the race. Robbie is a jaded and sarcastic person, and he is not shy about letting Bill know how he feels about the marathon. As it turns out, this race helps to set off a chain of events that will test the brothers' relationship and bring them both to the breaking point.

Bill is an energetic, optimistic, and extroverted guy. He runs a support group for the blind and often competes in marathons to raise awareness and money for blind people. Despite his visual impairment, Robbie is Bill's polar opposite. He is cynical, depressed, and lonely. He feels overshadowed by his brother, who has always been the golden child. Robbie spent most of his life trying to impress Bill, but he always fell short. Robbie resents Bill's success and popularity and feels that the world just sees him as someone who needs to be taken care of.

However, Bill's life takes a turn when he bumps into a girl named Rose (Jenny Slate) at the marathon. Rose is a clumsy and endearing girl who instantly catches Bill's attention. Robbie, on the other hand, is not a fan of Rose. He thinks she is trying too hard to impress Bill and that she is not genuine. Despite his reservations, Robbie agrees to help his brother win over Rose by teaching him how to be more suave, cool, and confident.

The movie follows the twists and turns of the brothers' relationship as well as their individual romantic pursuits. As Bill's relationship with Rose blossoms, Robbie starts to feel left behind. He meets a woman named Francie (Zoe Kazan) who works as a guide for the blind. Francie understands Robbie's struggle and is patient and kind to him. Robbie is hesitant to start anything with Francie, as he feels that he will never be enough for her because of his visual impairment. However, through the course of the movie, Robbie and Francie's relationship blossom, and he begins to see a brighter future for himself.

My Blind Brother is an emotionally impactful movie that tackles themes of sibling rivalry, envy, and love. The movie asks challenging questions about the nature of relationships and explores the idea of what it means to truly see and appreciate someone. The movie is a witty and touching tribute to the complexities of family, and the performances by Nick Kroll, Adam Scott, and Zoe Kazan are all excellent.

The cinematography of the movie is also outstanding, with every shot being well thought out, appropriately positioned and adding an extra layer of emotion to the story. The score of the movie is subtle and understated, which is appropriate given the tone of the movie.

Overall, My Blind Brother is an emotionally intelligent, charming and heartwarming movie that is bound to leave the audience feeling uplifted and grateful for the people in their lives. The movie's clever humor, excellent performances, and touching themes make it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys romantic comedies and dramas. If you haven’t watched it yet, it's worth checking out!
