Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Spare yet deeply atmospheric, the film is charged with dreadful fatalism.
The film creates one of the most chillingly becalmed portraits of insanity I've seen.
This lyrical, frightening film is a portrait of a man consumed by self-hatred who decided to take it out on the world.
If Moors and Porto were aiming for gun-debate relevance, they've failed; "Blue Caprice" has nothing to say about a society plagued by violence, nor does it focus on mental illness as a probable cause.
