Memorable, crazy movie
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Movie was fairly enjoyable. A former couple from their youths' meet after many years and reminisce over the past, while enjoying an evening together. Their encounter takes place in the same house as many of their previous encounters, providing a perfect backdrop to traverse their past. As this develops, they shift from an initially superficial, floating dialogue to an increasingly emotional and intense interaction, with many varied emotional peaks and valleys along the way. It's mostly interesting and engaging, although some of it lingered in silly/sappy territory too long for my taste. It's not really a serious movie as a whole, more like a piece they would do to practice their acting range and have some fun; still fairly fun to watch though.
Hands down one of the best titles I have seen in a long long time! Amazing actor chemistry, perfect shooting frames, no distractions with colour but oh so detailed surroundings and scenography. Just amazing how a simple black&white movie shot in a week can open a waterfall of emotions.I highly recommend "Blue jay" to every and anyone to see this masterpiece!!!
Two actors, a simple story . Two college friends and lovers met 20 years later in the same city. The screenplay is there to be followed but it seems everyone could write it or even the actors during the shot could amend it with the director and screenplay writer approval to changes because of this is a simple story like a children tale that everyone could pass through: a kind of archetypical tale. Back to the film, it is indeed simple, simple scenarios, black and white, good performances. The story drags you into your own story or someone else from your college. The film invites you to listen old love stories in old houses. There you see the characters finding remembrances, old notes, and letters, secrets, grievances buried in a pile of years. A man and woman in a search of life meaning came across each one way a second time to inquire about what the best track from now on. Good cinema, , a never-ending theme to be explored by a sensitive filmmaker. Great film!
Characters are unlikable, there is no story of note, acting is mediocre. This is just altogether a bad movie. The atmosphere was impressive but that alone did not carry the movie. Nothing interesting happens. It's a potentially interesting premise but the execution is terrible, short sighted, and boring. The main characters are just bad people and the male is just annoying to look at and listen to. Please find anything else to watch except this.
