Give yourself over to Blue Jean’s wavelength, and I believe you'll find it engrossing, insightful, and, unfortunately, quite timely.
Blue Jean is a strikingly confident feature. With her debut, writer-director Georgia Oakley has made a film that knows exactly what it intends to explore and goes about it by wielding mood, an especially tricky tool in the filmmaker's kit, with total precision. The movie examines internalized homophobia through its protagonist, taking her on a journey of recognizing and grappling with her troubled relationship with her own identity.
As a character, Jean is fully fledged individual, and exploring the film's themes in this '80s Britain milieu without diluting her to a representational stand-in requires walking a careful line. Oakley's solution is keep the scope limited to her protagonist's experience, and flesh out the sinister influence of mainstream society's hostility to her through an accumulation of moments.
