There is something undeniably romantic about film noir that that makes Neil LaBute’s Out Of The Blue one of his most alluring cinematic concoctions to date. Read full review

The Film Stage Jared Mobarak

Aug 25, 2022

The film’s simply a bit off-kilter—written with influences blatantly on its sleeves yet uninterested in subverting any assumptions that fact guarantees. I must be missing something. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Like most of LaBute’s work, Out of the Blue is talky, sparsely staged and presented with his signature detachment. The two leads are fine. Read full review

Collider Erick Massoto

Aug 26, 2022

Its dialogue is constructed in a way that would sound unnatural even in a daytime soap opera, and Kruger works her best to save it, but there’s only so much she can do. The story is so poorly developed it feels like an outline of a script, all in favor of a final plot twist that would be jaw-dropping…in the 1930s. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Aug 24, 2022

The general idea here is a sound one, taking the conventions of a celebrated genre and sending them up. But LaBute’s incessant grasping for laughs out of “The Next Tuesday” and “Sometime After That” titles is instantly cloying. Read full review

There’s no question writer-director Neil LaBute’s effort doesn’t catch fire. Read full review

Robert Abele

Maybe if you hate movies, LaBute’s attempt to bore us to death with classic noir material is a nifty prank. For anyone else, you’re better off revisiting Garfield and Turner, or Stanwyck and MacMurray, or Hurt and Turner — or even “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.” Read full review
