Courage

Rating: 4/10 (17 April 2002)

In light of the many glowing reports on this film, it takes a little courage to admit that beyond a few impressive story telling techniques and some memorable uses of color, Blue was altogether unremarkable. After the inginuity, one's audience still must invest in the story, or at least in how one is telling it. I have nothing to gain by criticizing those who appreciate the technical and artistic nuances of this film, but Blue was produced for a select sub-culture. To the lay-film-lover, it was foreign on two fronts. 4/10
