Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
vothty Although the weight of nostalgia causes the second act to drag, the emotional chemistry between the two leads (Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass) makes Blue Jay a film worth remembering. Director Alex Lehmann's carefully paced scenes and surprising tone bring up the fear of what could've been without telling us how to feel about it.
konnernolan Characters are unlikable, there is no story of note, acting is mediocre. This is just altogether a bad movie. The atmosphere was impressive but that alone did not carry the movie. Nothing interesting happens. It's a potentially interesting premise but the execution is terrible, short sighted, and boring. The main characters are just bad people and the male is just annoying to look at and listen to. Please find anything else to watch except this.
danieldeparis First I want to say I just read all reviews here and I love you people. You rekindle my hope in mankind. From Vancouver to Cairo to Rome. Great art does that. Bring together great people.Greetings. I just watched this MASTERPIECE. Not only of film, but of human creation, of human feeling.It made me realize there is such thing as a crime against MAGIC. Letting the chemistry between two beautiful souls die.It's like REALITY BITES meets Sex Lies and Videotape meets It's a Wonderful Life. And after all these years... there is still the most MAGNIFICENT power on Earth out there. If only hearts could turn on their WiFi.Mark Duplass, Sarah Paulson, Alex Lehman: please find my gratitude and admiration enclosed.From Paris with loveDaniel
Kevin Lynch Mark Duplass has written a screenplay of subtle beauty that really is transfigured by both actors that grace the stage. I got this film for free and I must say that I feel a bit guilty for it. It heralds joy and nostalgia and reality in subtle measures. It is beautifully crafted; I think shooting in black and white was a strophe. I usually avoid b & w but I think it complimented the tone and the titillation here. The chemistry between the two main actors speaks of colour.I will buy this film or it will pass like a mandala.Either way, It is quietly beautiful, I hope someone reading this can enjoy it in new ways.
