“Blue Caprice” succeeds because of its great direction, two strong central performances, and an atmosphere and tone that does the story justice.

Surprisingly coming out of nowhere from the Sundance Film Festival, 'Blue Caprice' is a frightening, realistic, cruel, complexly psychological independent drama. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 25, 2020

Richmond has few lines, but the young actor commands the screen with his simmering rage, making it entirely believable that this once scared boy could turn into a remorseless killer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 20, 2019

Blue Caprice is an elegy, perhaps even a tragedy.

| Aug 28, 2019

Moors' takes a refined approach to the material, and when the film finally gets to the attacks every moment is overpowered with dread.

| Jun 21, 2019

Moors exercises taste by not sensationalizing the violence or playing it for shock value, but refraining from showing the murders entirely would have been much, much more tasteful.

| Original Score: 6.7/10 | Apr 12, 2019

The slow-burn outcry and low-key fury that exists in Blue Caprice is an unsettling bumpy ride one must be willing to take with measured poignancy, persistence and pain.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 14, 2018

This is a film that stubbornly refuses to sensationalize; it's not interested in how these men killed, or in exploiting and fetishizing those acts. Instead, it explores their humanity-which is revealed to be even more terrifying.

Refusing to settle for easy exploitation, director Alexandre Moors paints a vivid, bone-chilling picture of the corrupting power of evil.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 14, 2015

Blue Caprice lays out the details of a terrible time for Americans.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 16, 2014

...a half-baked endeavor that's unable to entirely live up to the promise of its setup and stellar performances.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 21, 2014

It may be too much slow-burning style for those looking for true-crime substance only, but a cool patience is what drives Blue Caprice.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 30, 2013

Coolly controlled and extremely well-acted.

Washington plays the character based on John Muhammad with a persuasive swagger. Paternal pride mixed with a quiet madness dances in his eyes as he lectures his young partner on the fine points of disrupting the social order.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 30, 2013

Blue Caprice is a fascinating character study and a fictionalized, human look at two people who went on a murderous rampage and killed innocent people for their beliefs.

| Original Score: B | Dec 30, 2013

Despite its stars giving mesmerizing performances, failed to entertain or educate us more about psychopathic serial killers.

| Original Score: C+ | Dec 10, 2013

This is a low-key film with a deliberate pace. It is dark and chilling in its atmosphere with danger lurking all along the way. It depicts two people on the outside looking in with anger and hunger and evil intent.

| Original Score: B | Dec 8, 2013

By no means a pleasant or enjoyable experience. But... it's certainly a rewarding and memorable piece of cinema.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 22, 2013

Haunting and less than riveting, but jarring nonetheless.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 21, 2013

Disturbing drama speculates on D.C. shooters' lives
