Ultra Bleu (2016) User Reviews

Really good

[ekeby · 8/10 · 27 August 2018]

Short film must be an especially difficult format, I've seen very few gay-themed that truly resonate. This one does.

It's a three act play delivered in less than 20 minutes. We get to see quite a story arc for the lead character. The pacing is just right, and the story is original and real. There is no hyperbole or gooey romanticism here.

For American viewers this English language film offers an exotic locale and characters we would love to know more about. This movie says a whole lot about modern gay life in a compact and uncluttered way. It's visually interesting and well crafted.

Very worthwhile and one of the best gay-themed shorts I've seen.

useful

or touching. or bitter-sweet, like after you crying. short, a beautiful film. about basic small things. like love, friendship, advises, a meet who gives hope after a brutal fall, errors and the second chance. its great virtue - the science to give the right character, easy for define yourself in crisis moments. and this is it. a simple beautiful short film about a guy looking for form, reasonable, of happiness. nothing less. nothing more. the music, the performances, the cinematography, the silence. all is admirable. for a film who you see twice. for story, details and special feel. for a form of reflection. and, maybe, for the courage lesson. because it is a film about a new chance. delicate and seductive. and it is enough. for a new view.

SUCH A POWERFUL SHORT FILM

Ultra Bleu is a fantastic piece of cinema, marking the beginning of more to come in the life and times of Jimmy Park. Nick Neon's work as writer, director and actor is phenomenal, and I'm so excited for Zero One to be released. The music in this piece was so good! I also loved how it ended, not at all what the audience is expecting!

If you like a slice of life topic.

A boy just broke up with his boyfriend and trying to find solace in solitude he meets a boy and comes to terms about his expectations and goals in a relationship.

I did not like it that much as other reviews say. Technically speaking it is mediocre so I could not get identify with the characters. The cast, the main one in particular also the director, do not perform that well. Sometimes it seems that they were thinking what to say and not saying it naturally. The conversation between them seemed artificial to me.

I loved the end but the rest it is just average-merdiocre.
