Best two reviews:
1) Entertainment Weekly - Instead of treating puppy love like child’s play, Blue Jay savors the fantasy of foundations built in adolescence, kindled while the heart is still young, and draws out the agonizing reality that romance ultimately fizzles out of necessity as we age and mature.

2) Indiewire - Blue Jay doesn’t lean on destiny or succumb to the easy refrain that time is a great equalizer. There’s genuine happiness here, but heartbreak is always right behind it. (Rating: 83) Read Full Review >

Now THIS is indie filmmaking! And mostly improvisation, no less. Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson are everyone as they revisit the love of their youth and try to remain cool while approaching their 40s and not having conquered the world yet. How refreshing this movie is. A true film.
