Blood Orange

How on earth does this movie only have two reviews (so far) on IMDb?

The casting couldn't have been better and Iggy Pop is a stand out as an old rock star. Hmmm... I wonder how that could be!

Everyone except the dopey pool boy has a plan and they unfold at a leisurely pace until the final line is spoken.

It's difficult to talk about the movie without giving the game away but I was reminded of a similar movie in both style and substance... the superb 1987 noir (yes, noir), Black Widow... and the similar movies that it spawned.

This is an 'adult' thriller... there's not much in the way of actual violence. No shouting and no infernal young people in the way. Any thinking person and fan of legato measured dramas will enjoy this.

The songs are well chosen, the photography is exquisite and there's not a second wasted.

Yeah, baby. This is excellent.

Iggy cannot act to save his life, but it matters not.

Only five people in the entire film, it keeps chugging along with twists and turns right until the end.

Reminded me a little of Sexy Beast.

Good film.

Toby Tobias, Writer and Director, says 'Blood Orange' is not what it seems and he is right. This noir film draws you in from the start and keeps you on tenterhooks as at no point can you guess what will happen next when the plot twists cleverly again till the last shot. In a stunning location with only four actors (Iggy Pop, Kacey Clarke, Ben Lamb and Antonio Magro) your sympathies change direction as the story develops. The reason for this being the truth of the characters and how they reflect our stories and lives. Life, death, love, sex, relationships, money and their impact! The main musical theme by Tim Arnold works incredibly well setting the mood and moving alongside the action. You leave deep in thought about your own life choices with the strains of Money Kills Love playing in your head!

First off, let me say both my husband and I are big Iggy Pop fans. So when we first heard about this film months ago, we got excited for it to come out. I pre-ordered a copy on Amazon.

Fans or not, no one can say Iggy Pop didn't do a spectacular job as Bill. He was PERFECT for the part. So many times he made us chuckle. Bill was cool. Intelligent. Cunning. Sexy.

Ben Lamb, Kacey Clark, and Antonio Magro were all believable, too, playing their characters well. The heat from Kacey radiated from the screen, and the relationship between her and Bill was nuanced and enticing.Their appreciation of who each other was is something I particularly enjoyed, it made me really feel they "got" each other.

The movie drew us in right away, and the tension built slowly, seductively, drawing us in even further. Very noir atmosphere.

I will watch it more than a couple times. Thank you for making this film.

Iggy Pop is inspired casting as Bill. His performance is beautifully nuanced and controlled. The relationship between Bill and his young wife Isabelle is entirely convincing. Kacey Barnfield is an alluring femme fatale - but just how calculating is she? The plot twists and turns, keeping the viewer guessing. Ben Lamb as spoiled brat Lucas is suitably shifty. Antonio Magro makes David, the clueless pool boy, a believable character. The Ibizan setting works well - Bill strides through the landscape like the protagonist of a sinister Spaghetti Western - and the villa is an ideal backdrop for the drama to play out. Toby Tobias is a skilled director and writer who isn't afraid to take risks and knows how to ramp up tension. It's become the fashion to make overlong, overblown films. At 85 minutes, Blood Orange avoids any self indulgence and keeps the viewer enthralled throughout.
