Simply Blue

About This Movie

Simply Blue is a fascinating character study of Ashlyn, an artist whose emotional landscape is as complex as her personal life. The film dives into her tumultuous affair with her boss, which spirals further into a three-way with his friend. The tone is heavy, with a palpable atmosphere of introspection and melancholy. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, allowing you to linger on the emotional weight of her decisions. What stands out here are the performances, particularly the nuanced portrayal of Ashlyn’s internal conflict. It’s a film that doesn't shy away from the messiness of human relationships, showcasing a raw, unfiltered look at desire and regret.

Simply Blue has seen limited releases, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles from the same era. Its scarcity means good copies can be hard to find, especially in decent condition. Collectors often seek it out not just for its narrative depth but for the unique perspective it offers on relationships and artistry in the mid-'90s indie scene.
