The Blue Rose

Somewhat David Lynch-esque movie that starts off with a girl on a very small stage putting soil in a flowerpot and watering it. Then a very poorly rendered CGI blue rose grows before our eyes.

The female leads can't act. But then virtually none of the actors can. Including the t-girl they threw in to check a box. There is nothing behind this movie except for the stylization. The makers seem to have put a lot of time and effort to make the movie LOOK interesting and no time or effort put in writing a coherent script or getting people who can act to be in it.

Hence, what I just watched is a mystery. And a boring one at that. In the least they could have thrown in some hot nudity to keep out interest, but NNNNoooooooo!!!!!

Oh, and if you blink, you miss Ray Wise.

I absolutely adored this movie. It was so theatrical and artistic in some way. Yes, the plot was very confusing but I think they portrayed the characters and storyline beautifully.

The 50s vibe, the horror, the interior; beautiful.

The people hating on this just dont get the art of this and that's okay you know, it's not for everyone.

Olivia Scott Welch did a great job with her role as Lilly. Playing a detective who is a (implied) lesbian like she is in Fearstreet!!! :D.

I also loved Norma's actress' acting, she did such a good job!!

I think overall it's obvious I really liked this movie, it was a piece of art in my opinion. :))

Well, that was a waste of my precious time. Neither my boyfriend nor I had an idea of what was going on. The film looks so cheap and bad. Psychopathic, has no main character, has no plot. Now that the film is finally over, I feel like I've lost all my brain cells, I'm annoyed and just overall disgusted. Literally, I have no idea what I just watched. The rest of the 20 minutes that was left of the movie, we skipped over half of it, not even sure what the ending meant, or the beginning. I am just hoping that I don't dream of this crap tonight and that I forget about it as soon as possible. Gosh..

No pun intended - obviously the song tells us to paint it black, but since the rose is blue .... well I don't think I have to explain that joke. Some may need explanations when it comes to the movie - you have to really be open minded. I couldn't entirely tell you what this was trying to tell me or rather us.

It was also nice seeing Ray Wise - though of course he was stealing his scene. The screen presence that man has .. just incredible! That said, the director/star of the movie isn't too bad either! Also true about the other actors! One just has to smile and she already has me ... not sure if that is a good thing or not ... or sexual or not ... but I know it is dangerous ... like a moth to the flame you say? Well probably ... anyway.

The movie goes off in the final ... reel and really messes with reality or rather sinks its teeth into a different universe... dimension? You have to dig it ... and dig it most who stumble upon this will .. because they seek it out ...

David Lynch must be spinning in his grave to know that his name has been associated with this pretentious crapfest. The takeaway for anyone watching this steaming pile is "just because you can do aomething, doesn't mean you should do it."

Let's start by not casting two scrawny teen nerds as detectives. And let's not assume that anything weird is automatically fascinating, especially if the "surreal" dream imagery is lit like a bad TV movie.

Don't surround your badly cast, chew-up-the scenery actors with sets that look like they were made for a high school play, and don't rely on corny period music to supply "atmosphere."

Finally, don't opt for a period piece if you don't have a clue about the era. Otherwise you'll end up with anachronistically tattooed ladies, laughably inappropriate wokeness, and a nurse's hat that looks like it was made from half of a Starbucks coffee cup.

The Blue Rose gives new meaning to the word "embarrassment." But if you've never seen a film by Lynch, Fellini or Jodorowsky and your favorite literary genre is fan fiction, it might be right up your alley.
