It's all so believable.

| Original Score: B | Aug 1, 2023

Director Alex Lehmann wisely keeps himself in the background and allows his two actors to carry the load. Duplass and Paulson have a convincing chemistry and there is an organic flowing rhythm to their dialogue.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2022

A tale of deflected soulmates...

| Jul 20, 2022

What makes Blue Jay so memorable is its two leads. There's an undeniable spark between them.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 28, 2021

[N]ine-tenths of the film evoke perfectly the ideal reencounter with the one that got away that lies buried deep in the heart of every person who's ever been in love.

Sarh Paulson and Jay Duplass Take Us on a Journey to Passions Past.

| Aug 29, 2019

In the case of Paulson, it is a performance positively overflowing with subtlety, communicating more in small moments than Duplass manages with even the most grandiose of speeches.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2019

Sarah Paulson's great performance and one or two genuinely funny scenes cannot wash out the sour taste of entitlement and the sentimental contentment with the mediocrity laurels that Blue Jay proudly rests on.

| Aug 28, 2018

A touching movie that understands how time transforms us. [Full review in Portuguese.]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 10, 2016

Blue Jay utilizes its simplistic concept to the best of its ability, packing equal parts depth and humanity throughout.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 21, 2016

Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson share a palpable chemistry as the former paramours. Their way is natural, grounded, and unflinchingly human.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 19, 2016

The film may not stick the landing, but everything before that is special.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 14, 2016

If the first hour or so of "Blue Jay" were anywhere near as compelling as its last 15 minutes, the film could have proved quite a special little experience.

| Oct 13, 2016

That's not to say Blue Jay is original, per se, but it is well crafted, well mannered and very well acted.

| Original Score: 7.6/10 | Oct 13, 2016

Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass shine in Blue Jay, a charming nostalgia trip tackling heady themes in a manner that is both lovingly awkward and brutally real.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 11, 2016

The latest film by The Duplass Brothers is light on the plot, heavy on the tear ducts.

| Oct 11, 2016

There's '90s nostalgia, and then there's throwing in a reference to the Emilio Estevez-Charlie Sheen vehicle "Men at Work." It shows that "Blue Jay"'s really trying.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2016

With its black-and-white photography dropping us into a cinematic space out-of-step with time, Blue Jay is a poignant chamber play between fortysomethings who never quite got over their teen romance.

| Oct 7, 2016

A gentle, genuine trip down memory lane that features one of our best actresses in the kind of role she doesn't get to play that often.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2016

Shows off a different side of Sarah Paulson-looser, more relaxed, and playing opposite Mark Duplass, who seems like he would thoroughly irritate many other Paulson characters.
