Chemistry between people is such an elusive thing. I don't think it is something that can be forced into existence, but I do believe that circumstances can be created for it to flourish. In life it's up to chance, in art it's up to talent.
Blue Jay's writer and director provide the perfect tools for their two protagonists to shine, to charm each other and by proxy to charm us into giving a damn. In just 80 minutes, Paulson and Duplass give us two characters that you know the minute you see them. Through their interactions you feel their shared history, their faded longing that is rekindled, the weight of their present alleviated for just a second by the tenderness…

There are two kinds of people in the world:
People who watch Blue Jay and feel depressed because love is ultimately a futile pursuit that only leads to pain and regret.
And people who watch Blue Jay and feel happy because despite any sort of pain or forever unhealthy dent that love left, it’s a beautiful thing that it happened in the first place.

"There's nothing wrong with my life. I should be happy. But there's this sadness and I don't know where it comes from."
A lovely, melancholic stroll down the love that coulda, shoulda, woulda. If you are on a strict - one romantic movie a year diet, make sure that this is the one.

i was SO impressed by the dialogue and then i found out it was mostly improvised so basically screenwriting is unnecessary and my dreams are a lie

I wasn't expecting for this one to hit me as hard as it did. Cried a little, smiled a lot, I loved it. Sarah and Mark have amazing chemistry I hope they make more movies together.

“I fucking hate love. I loathe the hope it allowed to fester in me. The glimmer of life where my future was not just my own. I hate loving her.”
