100A memory of the automobile in which a father drove away from his family provides the title for Blue Car but no hint of the power of writer-director Karen Moncrieff's superb feature debut.
-
80Even with its drawbacks, Blue Car remains an intimate, thoughtful drama, with a performance no one is likely to forget.
-
80Moncrieff offers a rare, unromantic take on female adolescence as sharp as a razor: It cuts right to the bone.
-
60Blue Car gets so much of the hard stuff (including Meg's Plath-via-Tori poetry) that it assumes the easy stuff will take care of itself. It doesn't.
