Boonyawatana's command of the film's tricky, mercurial tone isn't strong enough to keep the film readable or even just engaging throughout.

While "The Blue Hour" opens in a way suggesting a typical gay coming-of-age tale, it quickly veers away from conventional formulas and expectations by using that genre to springboard into different and much darker ones.

Rated: 3/4

James Lattimer

Slant Magazine

An initially intriguing attempt to splice together a gay romance and a horror film that ultimately shows little flair for either genre.

Rated: 2/4

This is an audacious film about adolescent pains, sexual forces and hidden brutality. It puts Anucha on the official map of young Thai filmmakers to watch as well.

Interesting for awhile, but it was just too enigmatic ultimately to connect with me. I did appreciate the filmmaking craft on display.
