The Big Blue Ratings & Reviews
- Billy ZaneMay 29, 2025From Luc Besson, the visionary director behind The Fifth Element, comes something entirely different—yet equally mesmerizing. The Big Blue is a stunning, meditative film that dives into the strange and beautiful world of competitive freediving. It’s not just about the sport (which most people have never heard of); it’s about obsession, friendship, and the pull of the ocean. Jean-Marc Barr and Jean Reno deliver emotionally grounded performances as lifelong rivals and friends drawn to the depths for different reasons. The cinematography is breathtaking — every underwater shot feels like a dream — and Eric Serra’s score ties it all together with an otherworldly vibe. This is not your typical sports drama. It’s slower, quieter, and far more poetic. If you’re in the mood for something visually beautiful and emotionally deep, The Big Blue is worth sinking into.
