Absolutely horrendous film in that style where, if nobody knows how to act, then everyone is a good actor. Likewise, if you completely ignore every rule of good filmmaking, voila' it becomes "artistic" and "avantgarde".

Two twenty-something spoiled kids read off some dialogue implying that they are "detectives". They do some detectiving and see ghosts, apparitions, scary ladies with knives, all with different filter. So maybe one hallway is ALL BLUE, or a kitchen is ALL YELLOW, because *art*.

Shame because the production looks like they spent some money on it, but it seems that not a single talented filmmaker was involved in any way, because it's atrocious from the first to the last scene.

My vote: 4.5/10.

There's so many Lynch references by the time we're introduced to the main characters it feels like a clumsy rip-off than "inspired by" - mostly because there's very little inspiration in this.

It's a tiring film, most of the actors are quite poor but, Danielle Bisutti deserves special recognition for being toe-curlingly bad, but that's like peeing in an ocean of pee.

I had to check back here repeatedly to confirm it's not "comedy" as opposed to the drama/fantasy/horror it's billed as - maybe the joke is that no one cares enough about film anymore for it to be worth going to the cinema for and the punchline is grinding the heel on the face of those that once did?

Credit to Ray Wise for not walking off set, I can't begrudge him the money. Aside from that - bring on AI-film making, no one (other than Wise) should be involved with film ever again.

Well, that was a waste of my precious time. Neither my boyfriend nor I had an idea of what was going on. The film looks so cheap and bad. Psychopathic, has no main character, has no plot. Now that the film is finally over, I feel like I've lost all my brain cells, I'm annoyed and just overall disgusted. Literally, I have no idea what I just watched. The rest of the 20 minutes that was left of the movie, we skipped over half of it, not even sure what the ending meant, or the beginning. I am just hoping that I don't dream of this crap tonight and that I forget about it as soon as possible. Gosh..

Somewhat David Lynch-esque movie that starts off with a girl on a very small stage putting soil in a flowerpot and watering it. Then a very poorly rendered CGI blue rose grows before our eyes.

The female leads can't act. But then virtually none of the actors can. Including the t-girl they threw in to check a box. There is nothing behind this movie except for the stylization. The makers seem to have put a lot of time and effort to make the movie LOOK interesting and no time or effort put in writing a coherent script or getting people who can act to be in it.

Hence, what I just watched is a mystery. And a boring one at that. In the least they could have thrown in some hot nudity to keep out interest, but NNNNoooooooo!!!!!

Oh, and if you blink, you miss Ray Wise.

The Blue Rose is a new favorite of mine. I found the vision the director and his crew created, enticing and very well crafted. The main leads are rock solid, as well as the photo and sound of the film. I am not the one to love investigative narratives, but this one had my glued on the screen. Great pacing, made me feel lots of strange emotions (I value this the most on film) and am glad this film exists. I can see influences of Lynch, Gregg Araki and noir comics been part of this creation, but The Blue Rose is much more than it's influences, it is perhaps, the first film of a great newcomer talent.

No pun intended - obviously the song tells us to paint it black, but since the rose is blue .... well I don't think I have to explain that joke. Some may need explanations when it comes to the movie - you have to really be open minded. I couldn't entirely tell you what this was trying to tell me or rather us.

It was also nice seeing Ray Wise - though of course he was stealing his scene. The screen presence that man has .. just incredible! That said, the director/star of the movie isn't too bad either! Also true about the other actors! One just has to smile and she already has me ... not sure if that is a good thing or not ... or sexual or not ... but I know it is dangerous ... like a moth to the flame you say? Well probably ... anyway.

The movie goes off in the final ... reel and really messes with reality or rather sinks its teeth into a different universe... dimension? You have to dig it ... and dig it most who stumble upon this will .. because they seek it out ...

I absolutely adored this movie. It was so theatrical and artistic in some way. Yes, the plot was very confusing but I think they portrayed the characters and storyline beautifully.

The 50s vibe, the horror, the interior; beautiful.

The people hating on this just dont get the art of this and that's okay you know, it's not for everyone.

Olivia Scott Welch did a great job with her role as Lilly. Playing a detective who is a (implied) lesbian like she is in Fearstreet!!! :D.

I also loved Norma's actress' acting, she did such a good job!!

I think overall it's obvious I really liked this movie, it was a piece of art in my opinion. :))

I stumbled upon this movie and got 40 mins in when i said to myself "I need to watch this baked. I resumed after a lovely baking session. To which the movie made complete sense to me. This experience has been beyond a gift. I Feel i am apart of this artistic movie. Like the credits roll and then the movie continues with me in my universe. And then Its a movie of me and it continues with another audience watching this. Honestly amazing I understood. Please i recommend this sober or high. I'm going to brainwash my friends into watching this all high together. This is next level really takes you through demotions i mean dimensions.. Or did I ;)
