Blue

I had very few expectations when I sat down to watch this film as I knew absolutely nothing about it. But I will say that as a person who suffers from depression I tend to gravitate towards films that deal with mental health and have therefore seen many. When dealing with issues of self harm, most films tend to either sensationalize or demonize. I was expecting one or the other but this film did neither. It normalized it within the context of a volitive individual suffering an acute depressive episode . The issue was of course taken seriously as it should be, but it was seen as just what it is, yet another symptom of mental illness for some people. It is not the self harm that needs to be treated, it is the reason behind it. And this film focussed on just that. The writing was fantastic, the acting superb, the editing and musical score ideal. i'm hoping this film gets a lot more exposure in the days to come, particularly now that mental health issues are at an all-time high. It was also an uplifting reminder of what friendship and love can do to lift the human spirit, no matter how blue.

It is frequently being said that blue is the color of sorrow and depression, allow me to disagree. Blue is the color of our planet when being watched from space. Blue is the color of my mouse-pad, blue is one of the primary colors and the deepest of the all. This wonderful movie tells, and in a very unique way, shows you that feeling depressed and low inside can be compared to all the colors of the rainbow. But if you're referring to feelings blue comes out the first when talking about sentiments.. Complicated but true, catchy but to the point, no messing around , straight to the heart of the soul... Beautiful !!!

I was SO happily surprised by the beautiful mix of laughter & tears watching this movie. It is a wonderful film with brilliant acting, the leads have great chemistry. It can be a heavy subject but there's so much light & life within it. Loved it! It shows that when you feel you have nothing left, you can dig deep within yourself or find even the tiniest bit of hope from another to keep going.

This is a Must watch movie. The story line was very well done. The writing acting and all around movie experience is well worth it. Something to make you laugh and make you cry. It leaves you wanting to know what happens to the characters after the movie ends. And awesome watch.

Facts about Blue: Before this review there were nine other extremely positive reviews. Seven of them never reviewed any other movie than this one. Two of them only reviewed this movie but contributed a lot in supplying filmographies, plots and images which make you automatically think they are in the movie business. So I hope those facts are already enough information for you to see the scam and to skip this movie. For my review I would say that it's absolutely not a comedy (or maybe I don't get the unexistant humor), the acting is below mediocre and that from almost the whole cast, the plot is extremely boring and not worth watching. The movie starts with the usual crowd teaser that it is based on true events and so on. Well in that case I expect an interesting story, where something different than the ordinary will happen. None of those things happened, it's just boring from the beginning till the end. They could have filmed any of my neighbors week and call it a based-on-true-events movie, in other words absolutely not interesting and just random. And about the awards (20 wins & 6 nominations) this is just an insult to good movies winning real awards. Just look at what kind of awards it's winning, nobody ever heard of those. I guess the film crew of Blue knows a lot of people in the business, hence the score, but don't get fooled by that. Avoid at all costs.
