Blue Jay Reviews
indieWire
Steve Greene
If the hour and a half spent inside this story seems fleeting, it's only because sometimes that's the best you can ask of a good nostalgia trip.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
These two people clearly have a troubled history, and it takes Blue Jay only a few minutes to generate intense curiosity about what it is.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A gentle, genuine trip down memory lane that features one of our best actresses in the kind of role she doesn't get to play that often.
Entertainment Weekly
Joey Nolfi
Though the film largely trains on the simple, dialogue-fueled interaction of two people, it feels more spectacular than theatrical, showcasing the acting prowess of two master performers feeding on mutual chemistry and performative bravado.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson have extraordinary chemistry, painting a cumulative portrait of the fragility and rareness of being truly in sync with a partner.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
If the first hour or so of "Blue Jay" were anywhere near as compelling as its last 15 minutes, the film could have proved quite a special little experience.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
It's to the credit of both the movie and its stars that the easy sense of naturalism isn't undone by the eventual revelations. These people are believable, and so are their conversations, and so is their shared past.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Blue Jay is wistful and beautifully acted until the moment Amanda produces an unsent letter from Jim that she has discovered among the piles of old clothes and keepsakes. Nostalgia gives way to melodrama.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Paulson is way overdue for a lead role, and though Blue Jay is minor fare ... it's a great vehicle for her to run up and down the emotional scale without breaking a sweat.
Village Voice
Serena Donadoni
Even after twenty years apart, Amanda and Jim can ask each other the questions no one else would dare to, and understand the answers that go beyond words.
Hollywood Reporter
Jon Frosch
Small but stirring, thanks mostly to Sarah Paulson.
Metro
Matt Prigge
There's '90s nostalgia, and then there's throwing in a reference to the Emilio Estevez-Charlie Sheen vehicle "Men at Work." It shows that "Blue Jay"'s really trying.
Film School Rejects
Matt Hoffman
The latest film by The Duplass Brothers is light on the plot, heavy on the tear ducts.
Brooklyn Magazine
Jesse Hassenger
Shows off a different side of Sarah Paulson-looser, more relaxed, and playing opposite Mark Duplass, who seems like he would thoroughly irritate many other Paulson characters.
The Playlist
Kevin Jagernauth
Penned by Duplass, Blue Jay contains his usual, careful attention to creating characters that feel drawn from real life.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Somber, poignant, a bit predictable.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
It's a pleasure to report how well "Blue Jay" works thanks to patient direction by Alex Lehman and exceptional lead performances from Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
That's not to say Blue Jay is original, per se, but it is well crafted, well mannered and very well acted.
We Got This Covered
Robert Yaniz, Jr.
Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass shine in Blue Jay, a charming nostalgia trip tackling heady themes in a manner that is both lovingly awkward and brutally real.
Movie Mezzanine
Mallory Andrews
With its black-and-white photography dropping us into a cinematic space out-of-step with time, Blue Jay is a poignant chamber play between fortysomethings who never quite got over their teen romance.
