Forty Shades of Blue (2005)
Spellbinding
25 February 2005 - 8 out of 14 users found this review helpful.
The overall effect is spellbinding. For fans of 1970's movies like FIVE EASY PIECES and the works of Cassevetes 40 SHADES OF BLUE will be deeply satisfying. This is the kind of movie we get to see so rarely. Strong unusual characters. Real dilemmas. Honest emotions. The story packs a moving payoff. Dina Korzun gives an especially memorable subtle performance. We understand her inner-turmoil. Rip Torn is also excellent. Hey, when you're tired of watching dumb action movies it's good to have a choice to see a movie that explores the real world. This is the anti-Hollywood movie. It deserved to win the top prize in Sundance.
