‘Blue Film’, the film about paedophilia that makes the industry uncomfortable: “The rejection it generates has to do with the traumas of the person watching”

Blue Film has had a hard time finding its way. It was shot in 2024, in just 12 days. The debut of British Eliott Tuttle has been very well received by critics (with a 92% acceptance rate on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes), and also convinced distributors and programmers of film festivals such as Sundance and SXSW, in Austin (Texas). Those who praised it refused to buy or project it. The reason: the taboo generated by its plot, centered around pedophilia. In Spain, it can be seen from this Friday on Filmin.
