The debut feature from actress Lisa Brühlmann, Blue My Mind brings a surreal spin to the coming of age story, and is an effective showcase for a striking cast of young performers. Read full review

Blue My Mind is a provocative Swiss origin story about sex, drugs and trials no person can possibly be prepared for. Whether Mia’s transformation is true or a ruse, the proposition of underwater DNA is only bested by Lisa Brühlmann’s execution. Read full review

Shannon Liao

Brühlmann’s ambiguous, evocative images document rather than judge. The precocious teen parties and wild shoplifting trips are never deemed terrible, although for these characters, sex feels meaningless, and mental agony is nearly too overwhelming to face. Read full review

In many ways, the film is reminiscent of last year’s arthouse horror hit Raw, using monstrous transformation as a metaphor for puberty and sexual awakening. It’s not as extreme as Raw in its content, though, nor as skillful in its technique. Read full review

Nov 8, 2018

As push-pull friendships in churning waters go, Mia’s and Gianna’s is the visceral heart of Brühlmann’s film, which otherwise isn’t the greatest mix of teen angst and body horror you’re likely to see, but also nowhere near the worst. Read full review

Having created a striking and potent allegory in “Blue My Mind,” and explored it with grace, seriousness, and exceptional craft, Brühlmann doesn’t seem to know quite what to do with it by the end, except to suggest that the cost of self-acceptance is vast, eternal, oceanic loneliness.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rape scenes and scenes showing male genitalia should be cut off!

If I give 3 stars, that's overrated. So I gave this only 0 star. This film has a storyline that is very messy and difficult to think logically. This film has an adult scene where this girl is raped and reveals the intimate parts of a man. What does it mean? Why does this film show the intimate part of the man? Then, what film is this? Talking about a mermaid or a teenager who is going through puberty? And then it is so disgusting that the girl eats the goldfish alive. I'm just giving advice to the audience not to watch this film because it's just a waste of time and it doesn't have a good moral message, it doesn't have a good screenscript, and the storyline doesn't make sense.… Expand
