Leave your thoughts about Blue Jean.
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeA supremely accomplished debut feature from writer-director Georgia Oakley, Blue Jean captures a specific moment in British history with almost uncanny accuracy. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyIt's so rare in British cinema to see the "L" in "LGBTQ+" up there in such bold type, which makes Blue Jean not only a biting look at this historical moment but a riveting act of redress. |
| Film ThreatSumner ForbesThe framing, editing, and overall rhythm of the story brim with intelligence. When coupled with a star-making performance from McEwen, we have what should be a new LGBTQIA+ classic drama. |

| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloOakley’s care and McEwen’s intense performance make Blue Jean one of this year’s most impressive movies. It deals with so much heartbreak without as many words; its pain is communicated through its somberly beautiful palette and performances. |

| Austin ChronicleAlejandra MartinezIt’s a stunning debut worth seeking out, a reminder of what has passed and what is rearing its ugly head once again, and a statement about the necessity of queer joy and solidarity. |
| Boston GlobeOdie HendersonIt’s an empathetic yet forceful cautionary tale; we should pay heed to its message. |
| IndieWireJude DryFeaturing a stirring breakout performance from the luminous Rosy McEwan, Blue Jean grounds the political with the personal — without losing sight of queer joy. |
