What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

The genius of Blue Film is that its provocation is cerebral. Go to Full Review

4/5
But if you’re courageous enough to proceed, you’ll find Blue Film to be an effective two-hander that tackles increasingly taboo sexual topics through the power of frank discussion, without making light of some extremely nauseating subjects. Go to Full Review

7/10
An unsettling and provocative debut. Kieron Moore and Reed Birney deliver magnetic performances, but the dialogue-heavy second half slows the film down. Its most compelling strength is its difficult line between empathy and justification. Go to Full Review
Peter Gray The AU Review Aug 2, 2026
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. Go to Full Review

Dominic T May 27, 2026 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, 2026 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, 2026 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, 2026 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, 2026 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, 2026 Provocative. Indie filmmaking at its best. See more Read all reviews
