Trivia
During its UK opening weekend a riot occurred at a VUE cinema in Birmingham, England, in the middle of a screening (speculation as to whether it was Blue Story (2019) or La Reine des Neiges 2 (2019)). Over 100 people were allegedly involved, including young teenagers armed with machetes. The area was put under lock-down by police armed with tasers. As a result of the riot, VUE (and later Showcase Cinemas) decided to cancel all screenings of Blue Story and blame the violence on the film and the film's message. Further incidents also occurred during opening night, including a machete attack in Huddersfield.

Goofs
Around the 42'50m mark, Marco (Micheal Ward) has his head bowed forward, just moving his hand away from his face, before cutting to a shot from the other side where his head is leaning backwards.

I N C R E D I B L E

I can't believe more people have rated this film a 1 than a 10. Reading some of the recent reviews I actually felt like I've watched a different film to the one people are describing (btw I haven't). The film was incredible and deserves way more credit than people on here are giving it. It's the best film I've seen in a long time and I have watched A LOT of films recently. The film is accessible, whilst it focuses on gang violence it essentially focuses on a friendship and the relationship between one of those friends and his girlfriend. I found the film very moving. Rapman is unbelievably talented. The acting was amazing, the entire film was engaging from the very start to the very end. I will be telling everyone to watch this movie.
