Review of Blue Like Jazz (2012) by Jason F — 13 Apr 2012
As an "Associate Producer, " I was certainly predisposed to like BLJ. However, I was admittedly nervous before I watched the film. I'd read some good and many critical reviews before I saw it last night.
I'm pleased to say that my face hurt by the end for all the smiling I did. The first smiles were from the funny bits (which were numerous). Towards the end, the smiles turned to the smile or recognition, the smile you get when you realize someone is experiencing what you have.
I was very pleased with the film. Although there were aspects that could have been fleshed out or transitions that could have been smoother, the spirit of the BLJ was intact and the message for those with faith and those without was evident.
I'm happy to see a movie written and filmed by believers that isn't squeaky clean and schmaltzy.
