The Australian

Out of the Blue taps into the classical era of film noir...it’s likely to be a delight for the movie buffs among us.

Rated: 3.5/5

Los Angeles Times

A great femme fatale can elevate any noir, but the talented Kruger isn’t given much to work with here.

TheWrap

If an adulterous mystery in the Cain vein isn’t going to dazzle with its dialogue or titillate with its temptations, why is it there?

Movie Madness Podcast

Neil LaBute’s commitment to the femme fatale homage works for awhile and Diane Kruger is more than game, but instead of following suit in subverting our expectations the film settles into becoming a DTV Wild Things sequel with a tenth of the twists.

Rated: 2/4

Out of the Blue feels more like a storytelling exercise than a finished feature.

Crooked Marquee

Even if LaBute is aiming for a campy noir parody, he misses the mark.

Rated: C-

Don’t waste an hour and a half of your life watching this slow, unrealistic film. You knew the plot within the first 10 minutes

?? Fin dai primi istanti ci si chiede se è lui il psico-killer o lei la infima intortatrice: entro il quinto minuto è palese quanto il finale! Dialoghi di una banalità disarmante, trama misera, Diane Kruger la cui interpretazione offende persino mia cugina alle prove del Teatro Parrocchiale. Gli altri attori sembrano stati scelti tra i peggiori del Corso di Recitazione Comica organizzato dalla Sagra della Soppressa. Si arriva all'epilogo mentre si fa altro, confermando l'ottima scelta di non aver sprecato tempo a seguire il film!
