Fetish camboy Aaron Eagle (Kieron Moore) agrees to spend the night with an anonymous client (Reed Birney), and discovers a disturbing tie to his past.

Critics Consensus

Equal parts bracing and sensitive in its exorcism of the taboo, Blue Film is provocative without being exploitative thanks to phenomenal performances and writer-director Elliot Tuttle's emotional frankness.

3.5/4

"Blue Film," through its many frank observations, stands as a vulnerable work about one’s past colliding with one’s present, in a bid to make peace with one’s true self.

3.5/4

It’s a star-making performance in a brave first feature designed to provoke while it excavates taboo topics and gives us an uncensored seat to observe how trauma chews us up.

Compelling performances go a long way toward making this provocative two-hander as haunting as it is disquieting.

It’s an excellent film. A deeply upsetting one, too, and one of the best of 2026.

[Elliot] Tuttle doesn't want his audience to sit back and relax; rather, he challenges us to hold innocence and evil in tandem.

90/100

Blue Film is unabashedly unafraid to tackle the most difficult conversations, and triumph with tremendous performances from Birney and Moore, this is a sure fire contender for top 10 of 2026, if you can get through it.

really well done indie film that deals with a difficult and taboo topic with a great script and stellar acting.

Very intriguing, intimate and intense . Beautifully filmed, terrifically acted - 2 characters. An older man and a young man with some shared history. I felt like I was reading a short story. Tension, mystery, about motives and needs. You're warned to be comfortable (- or okay with being UNcomfortable!) with themes of gay sex, obsession, explores definitions of perversion, and reveals possibility of unexpected healing and humanity

I didn't like this movie and I felt misled regarding the subject matter. It was advertised as a movie about an online sex worker, something akin to Margo's Got Money Troubles, but it's not about that at all! The subject matter is creepy.

An extremely emotional and fucked up, uncomfortable therapy session between an English teacher and his former student who is now a sex worker. A shame that this film will never be widely seen because these two central performances are completely raw and devastating to sit through.
