Critics Consensus

Raw and riveting, Blue Story overcomes its somewhat prosaic story with powerful performances and an impressive clarity of purpose.

For a big screen directing debut, "Blue Story" is pretty accomplished.

The emphatic style can be repetitive, but it's confident work that crucially doesn't condescend to the youth audience best placed to receive its sobering pacifist message.

A good Movie especially with a strong story but I think at some parts it Is kind of rushes, it could be way longer. The Interludes with the Rap parts covering the latest events are creative but I think they just dont really fit into the movie. Overall even though this Movie was to short in my opinion it still had fantastic scenes and Rapman overall did a great Job directing it.
