Critics Consensus

Equal parts bracing and sensitive in its exorcism of the taboo, Blue Film is provocative without being exploitative thanks to phenomenal performances and writer-director Elliot Tuttle's emotional frankness.

3/5

What makes it so uncomfortable is not the sex; mostly what we see on screen is two men talking. But early on a mood of skin-crawling unease seeps in, and it remains for every second of the film’s 82-minute run time.

The genius of Blue Film is that its provocation is cerebral.

Blue Film’s greatest strength is never losing sight of its main character.

8/10

One of cinema’s greatest strengths is using fiction to give shape to our dark realities and reveal nuance. Heores and villains are reductive constructs. Aaron and Hank are but (superbly performed) men.

Deftly made and powerfully acted, the result is a queasy, watch-once affair

3/5

While Moore and Birney’s compelling performances add nuanced layers to their characters, Tuttle’s handling of taboo themes offers more shock value than substance.

It was an interesting movie but overall enjoyable. I was thankful that my local theater carried the movie. no other theater carried the movie.

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

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.

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.
