Our want to be desired and our need to be loved often look identical, but they’re worlds apart. And it’s in that space between desire and love where “Blue Film” does its most fascinating work. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
"Blue Film," through its many frank observations, stands as a vulnerable work about one’s past colliding with one’s present, in a bid to make peace with one’s true self. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
It’s a star-making performance in a brave first feature designed to provoke while it excavates taboo topics and gives us an uncensored seat to observe how trauma chews us up. Go to Full Review

Blue Film briefly gets close to being profound about sexuality, then sinks and becomes mired in a woefully misguided desire for pure empathy in the face of disgusting, immoral acts. Go to Full Review

...the whole thing feels like a play. It takes place in one location, and it basically features these two guys talking. At times, it feels like a therapy session where Aaron is the patient and Hank is the therapist... Go to Full Review

Dominic T May 27 It was an interesting movie but overall enjoyable. I was thankful that my local theater carried the movie. no other theater carried the movie. See more jeffrey s May 24 really well done indie film that deals with a difficult and taboo topic with a great script and stellar acting. See more Amanda C May 19 Very intriguing, intimate and intense . Beautifully filmed, terrifically acted - 2 characters. An older man and a young man with some shared history. I felt like I was reading a short story. Tension, mystery, about motives and needs. You're warned to be comfortable (- or okay with being UNcomfortable!) with themes of gay sex, obsession, explores definitions of perversion, and reveals possibility of unexpected healing and humanity See more KSO May 18 I didn't like this movie and I felt misled regarding the subject matter. It was advertised as a movie about an online sex worker, something akin to Margo's Got Money Troubles, but it's not about that at all! The subject matter is creepy. See more Demond W. May 17 An extremely emotional and fucked up, uncomfortable therapy session between an English teacher and his former student who is now a sex worker. A shame that this film will never be widely seen because these two central performances are completely raw and devastating to sit through. See more FP May 13 Provocative. Indie filmmaking at its best. See more Read all reviews
