Fetish camboy Aaron Eagle (Kieron Moore) agrees to spend the night with an anonymous client (Reed Birney), and discovers a disturbing tie to his past.

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.

"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.

Compelling performances go a long way toward making this provocative two-hander as haunting as it is disquieting.

"Blue Film" is a great film because it focuses on two men that most of polite society would give a wide berth to then shows them as three-dimensional people with a past, present and future and makes them as ordinary as possible

3.5/5

Swirling around around moral boundaries, this extended conversation is finely written and played, augmented by skilful camerawork and editing. All of which allows the two actors to create textured characters who are both flawed and engaging.

Moore locks eyes with the camera lens to ensure our rapt attention. It’s an electrifying performance with great command and vulnerability.

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.
