Leave your thoughts about Blue Eyelids.
| London Evening StandardAllan HunterTheir awkward struggle to overcome shyness and take a chance on love becomes the basis of a gently life-affirming tale of loneliness and longing. |
| Film4Hannah Forbes BlackA beautifully made film about two people with no ability to relate to each other, attempting to do just that. |
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessBlue Eyelids reveals itself to be a far more melancholic, absorbing and insightful film about loneliness. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawErnesto Contreras's debut feature finds its own kind of heightened, dreamy realism, a kind that skirts the frontier of reverie and hallucination in one direction, and that of gloomy disillusion in another. |
| Financial TimesMartin HoyleBeautifully acted by Enrique Arreola and Cecilia Suárez, an actress both withdrawn and hauntingly luminous. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThere are touching moments, a developing tenderness, some shuffling truths here and there, but not enough to make these marginal figures demand the attention the film's director thinks they deserve. |
| Little White LiesMatt BochenskiErnesto Contreras' slow and subtle study of abject loneliness is a curious affair. |
| Total FilmCarmen GrayA predictable romcom ending would be too upbeat for this bleak riff on loneliness and the delusions of fantasy. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerA semidrama always on the verge of reaching for laughs, but never grasping them. |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeNot an awful lot happens but the acting is first-rate, if low-key, and the choice of Ray Davies's This Strange Effect as a recurring motif on the soundtrack brings a melancholy sweetness to the story. |
