What to Know

Critics Consensus

Its overwhelming inscrutability may begin to feel more like a bug than a feature for some viewers, but After Blue is nothing if not original.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The production design goes heavy on glitter, crystals and slime, but can’t obscure the fact that the film has little of interest to say. Rated: 2/5 Oct 10, 2022 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) It looks awful (the Manifesto insists on recycled sets) and plays like an overlong, slightly self-indulgent Barbarella remix. Quite the slog. Rated: 2/5 Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian After Blue is a preposterous film, easy to ridicule. But it’s surely already halfway to cult classic status... Rated: 3/5 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Kevin Harley Radio Times Although the self-satisfied pop-culture in-jokes and diffuse plot can stretch the patience, the throbbing synth score nicely complements the VHS-era visuals. Rated: 3/5 Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine At 129 minutes, After Blue feels longer than this sort of film has any right to be, but it's certainly a singular experience. Beautiful and baffling in equal measure, it was tailor-made for queer film festivals and midnight screenings. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst Set in a world populated by women only, After Blue - the place and the film - is mesmerising, transgressive, bathed in saturated colours, and will no doubt be something very few people will visit.

Bambi T BLARGH! That's 2 hrs and 9 mins of my life I'll never get back. I felt strangely taken advantage of by the time the blessed relief of credits rolled. I'm not even certain as to the reasoning, if any, that brought about this frankly awful movie. Sets and lighting that only an original Star Trek fan would appreciate. Unexplained appearances of ill-conceived and badly executed "monsters" and their lack of pertinence to the non-existent plot serve to further the perplexing execution of a strange western-esque mix of budget sci fi. The dialog made absolutely no sense to me, whatsoever. The plot barely present. Gratuitous nudity and soft porn did nothing to establish nor further a story line. What was the purpose of naming each weapon with a designer name, anyway? Awful. Absurd. Just awful. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Simon B The most bizarre thing I have ever watched. Also, it's rubbish. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Velero r This low-budget sci-fi western seems to follow the tradition of a certain obscure current of european productions from the late century (see Les Remparts d'écume for example), where oniric surrealism, rusty decadent worlds and candid gratuituous nudity were taken for granted. It is not a film for everyone, and its undeniable flaws (amateurish acting, questionable effects and props, unnecesary nudity) will be too hard to ignore for the majority. But I, for one, enjoyed the ride. In this world of copypasted, uninspired productions, this kind of content makes me retain some faith. Kudos also to the main actress, as she nailed it, in my opinion. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review david b A bore on all levels. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Valerii Ege D After Blue was one of the dumbest movies, I've ever seen. When the outstanding set design of the movie and its successful editing combined with its ridiculous acting and story, it turned out to be a hilarious movie. Bless you, Kate Bush, stay away! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/05/22 Full Review Joe C The movie is a lot of things in the form of a retro '70s cheesy sci-fi made on film with live actors, consciously cheap sets and a few practical effects. It's all framed as a womyn's feminist coming of age narrative in a kill the bad guy quest. The experience is strangely asexual, considering most characters are in some state of nakedness. If you're curious, definitely see it now as it could either be forgotten completely or become a cult film that you can say you saw early.
