Blue Jean (2022)
Country: GB
Technical: col/1.66:1 97m
Director: Georgia Oakley
Cast: Rosy McEwen, Kerrie Hayes, Lucy Halliday
Synopsis:
In the northeast of England during the 1980s a school PE teacher finds her closeted lesbianism something of a professional liability, but a brush with a new pupil causes her to re-examine her defensive instincts.
Review:
A belated delve into the personal and social repercussions of Section 28 of the Local Councils Act, this is very much in the modern vein (repetitive quotidian detail, close-up staging and shallow focus, cumulative broad brush strokes in place of highly dramatised incident). The colour blue is subtly adumbrated throughout (whatever that means), and McEwen's contained performance spills over impressively at critical moments. The restrained handling and subject matter in any case place it beyond criticism.
