Out of Blue Ratings & Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
I just wasn't clear what it was I was supposed to be taking away from anything I had just watched.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Viewers who like their mysteries to be solved, rather than merely mused upon, should prepare for bewilderment.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Some gritty and evocative visual touches are overwhelmed by convoluted plotting in this muddled urban crime thriller.
Film Inquiry
Alistair Ryder
With The Falling, Morley proved herself skilled at examining the human condition through a surreal lens. Here, she remains on the outside looking in, never offering a perspective on the philosophical meanderings of her characters beyond the surface.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
A maudlin, incoherent snooze of a thriller that takes itself far too seriously.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
This haunting detective story fascinated me because of its dreamlike, neo-noir feeling and the added layer of cosmology as a backdrop to the crime.
Observer
Rex Reed
For one of America's most unique and photogenic locales, the Crescent City is as wasted as Clarkson-so boring to look at that the whole movie could have just as well been shot in Toledo, Ohio.
Should I See It
Michael Ward
...might be one of the only metaphysical, existential, murder mysteries you'll ever see.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
A detached motion picture, and it's hard to get away with that clinical approach and still adhere to a thriller format.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
[Out of the Blue] tries too hard to both be a part of -- and comment on -- the genre of crime stories, and does not succeed at either.
The Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
Sadly, this film resides in no man's land. Too somber to be much fun, it's also too dumb to be fully engrossing.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
Carol Morley's film wants to blow our minds, but it succeeds only at rousing our boredom.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The scientific theorizing ultimately feels like a big distraction, keeping us off-guard from a mystery that isn't that involving on its own.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
It's bold and occasionally maddening, but there's not much other genre fare like it right now.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An exploration of the big mysteries that dwarf crime conundrums.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
"Out of Blue" doesn't strike out only as an adaptation. What it offers on its own is tepid and predictable.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The plodding "Out of Blue" isn't out of ideas - just out of gas.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
If "Out of Blue" is meant sincerely, why is so little care given to psychology or plot? And if it's meant as pastiche, why isn't it more fun?
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Out of Blue is one of those films you're not sure if you really enjoyed viewing, but you're immensely glad that it exists, cheered to know the film industry still has room for maverick, boundary-smudging work like this.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Morley sustains a vibe of low-key Lynchian weirdness throughout, enough to keep your mind from wandering even as the investigation meanders this way and that.
