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.

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.

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.

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.

3.5/5

This is not an enjoyable film, nor does it aspire to be. It’s emotionally draining, frequently distressing and almost relentlessly uncomfortable. But discomfort is the point.

8/10

Take two superb actors, add rather superb direction and a harrowing screenplay by Elliot Tuttle, throw in a sprinkling of salt on some open wounds, stir the pot over a low heat, and just stand back a little when matters begin to boil.

While the dialogue can be a little stilted, the performances are riveting – one too vulnerable and one too deluded to stomach.

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.
