Cerulean Blue

Great acting, solid filmmaking considering the apparently tiny/non-existent budget. Story is very simple and the dialogue is a bit cringy. When it comes down to it it's really just another manic-pixie unique-haired white-girl who speaks in limericks and appears out of nowhere with no backstory cures mentally-unstable white-man of his troubles movie. But fun to watch! and exciting to see something homegrown make it all the way to MIFF.

Look it won't blow your eyeballs out but it's a decent movie. I personally did not like the ending. The actors where loveable and I genuinely had feelings for them. This movie could've gone to 10 it could've gone a 1 for me it was a 5. Good wake up call for some people.

Unfortunately the movie has no true beginning and has no proper ending. There is no climax, there is just slow boring road trip of two people kind of getting to know each other with flashbacks being played showing a little insight of the mental health of the protagonists to the viewers. You never truly understand either of their backgrounds and what has developed them into the characters they are now. The storyline is weak, both story could have been exasperated for interest and been made more exciting, people do t watch a movie to watch mundane everyday life events. No one cares, people want sex drugs and rock and roll. At least I do.

I'd heard nothing about this film when I happened upon it on Stan (Australian streaming platform) but liked the look

It's nicely shot, with rich moody colours, and features two strong naturalistic performers that you can't take your eyes off. Suitably low key soundtrack too.

It's a bittersweet story about feelings gone bad which tries to cleverly jump around in time but doesn't always land this aspect - but I respect the filmmaker for being true to their vision.

At just over 70 mins, it's not a big investment, so take the time to check it out if you can. I am hopeful that we see more from the people involved in this.

(One small question - what was the scene in the garage at night all about? Just a red herring?)

Movies that leave you deep in thought after the credits roll are far and few between. I felt qt little robbed wt the end as i was expecting the kind of conclusion we are used too and then realised it had a profound effect on my emotions. The acting was fantastic with few words spoken yet a lot said. The body language of the actors told the story, this is very hard to do. At the end it left me excited about his next movie. Not for all. I will not forget it for a very long time for all the right reasons.
