"Now, several months on, the film has been acquired by new distribution company Obscured Releasing and is due to screen in select theatres from May, Variety reports. Actor Kieron Moore, best known for his roles in , Vampire Academy and Code of Silence, plays the leading role of Aaron Eagle, a young man drawn into on-camera sex work by the lure of easy money."
"Paul Ridd, the director of EIFF, lauded the film for its "extraordinary performances, a tight script and an elegant visual style," dubbing it an "unusual thriller" which offers "a shocking and highly compelling cinematic experience". Other critics who have seen Blue Film during its limited run of film fest appearances have also praised it for "provoking and captivating in equal measure". Others have commended Moore's "stunning, shattering, star-making performance". At the time of writing, Blue Film has amassed a 90 per cent critics' approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes."
Blue Film follows a queer, fetish cam worker who connects with a mysterious client who is revealed to be his former high school teacher, a paedophile fired for sexually assaulting a student. The film was initially deemed too polarising for festivals including Sundance and SXSW before premiering at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Distribution was later secured with Obscured Releasing for select theatrical screenings from May. Kieron Moore stars as Aaron Eagle and Reed Birney plays Hank Grant. Critics praised the performances, script, and visual style, and the film holds a 90% critics' approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Blue Film is the debut feature by Elliot Tuttle.
