Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal 2d
The movie, with a deep well of grief and a reach beyond its grasp, is ultimately one of more modest achievements. Go to Full Review Alissa Wilkinson New York Times 2d
Beddoes’s performance as the troubled teen may be the best in the film. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias The Reveal 2d
4/5
While Blue Heron has an experimental quality that might encourage you to intellectualize the way film processes memory, its payoff is as personal and emotional as movies get. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 1d
Emphasizing mood over plot, the film is quietly unassuming yet cumulatively powerful without providing an easy path to catharsis. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 1d
A meditation on family, time, trauma, and memory, this film is simply the best narrative feature of the year so far by a wide margin. Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? 1d
10/10
Blue Heron isn’t an easy watch by any sense of the word, but it’s an important one to reduce the stigma associated with the torment of people like Jeremy and the anguish of those who love them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
