Bob Mondello NPR 1d
Compelling performances go a long way toward making this provocative two-hander as haunting as it is disquieting. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 1d
Sometimes that gaze is just discomfiting, full stop. Tuttle wants that. He has room to improve but he’s someone to watch, plumbing the hard-to-fathom. Go to Full Review
Wesley Morris New York Times 4d
Some of what feels good about Tuttle’s movie is that, for all of the places it’s bold enough to go, I couldn’t describe it as fearless. It’s full of fears, and it’s daring us to face them. Go to Full Review
David-Elijah Nahmod Bay Area Reporter 1d
Blue Film is unlike anything you may have seen before. It’s different, daring and wildly original. Go to Full Review
Charles Johnston Spectrum Culture 2d
Blue Film is a low-budget chamber piece that fearlessly explores the transformative effects of shame and loneliness, with a raw style that harkens back to the independent films of the ‘90s. Go to Full Review
Chris Cassingham In Review Online 2d
[The film's] lack of emotional and sexual catharsis is a refreshingly realistic approach on Tuttle’s part to subject matter that deserves to be taken seriously. Go to Full Review

FP 51m Provocative. Indie filmmaking at its best. See more David L @MovieFanForever1 1d Rarely has there been a more spellbinding two-character film, no matter what its provocative subject may be. Reed Birney’s heartbreaking portrayal of a man lost in his sad desires is as Oscar worthy as any this season or even century. Though young Kieron Moore makes for a fabulous adversary, it is the masterful Birney’s ability to hit so many heartstrings at once that you are compelled to watch his performance throughout. A bit of genius on display here from the respected actor’s actor. Tuttle makes the most of what could be a stiflingly small space using lyrical cinematography and smooth blocking. A tip of the cap as well to the stimulating pacing generated by its thoughtful editing. A must see despite qualms one may initially have due to the provocative nature of its subject matter. We’re all adults here, and "Blue Film" is adult as any feature could be. A+! See more Fred D. @FredDurham 2d In no way meets the hype. In spite of a well-designed conflict between the characters the film falls flat to deliver. A first-time, 23 y.o. director seeking to explore sexuality can’t be expected to deliver more than a hashtag production- simply lacks the life experience. For that matter history: Ancient Greeks, not Romans, were the practitioners of pedastry. See more Joe S. @RT88328786 3d Absolutely unnerving. The best horror movie of 2026. Trigger warning— this movie goes to the darkest corners of humanity. See more Read all reviews
