Blame Audience Reviews

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
cogeorge-17949 Just wrote this review to praise Quinn Shephard's talent! I wouldn't really worry about the somewhat confusing ending or other flaws for a directorial-producer-screenplay-music-acting debut, stop me from mentioning anything else. Ain't seen any other crew this young and with this much to do in a movie: I stand corrected, maybe I'm new to the movie industry.Nadia Alexander, outstandingly, "lead villain," and Chris Messina deserve endless rounds of applause for their performances.I like to think that the ending must have been an under-developed twist of suspense. Won't surprise me to see Shephard direct, produce, write, score, and/or star in thriller, romance, crime etc. movies in future. Certainly looking forward to more from her!
chokdee1 Truly captures the essence of teen angst and jealousy amongst girls in high school. The character's were layered and fascinating to watch. All the actors were amazing. I was particularly blown away by Nadia Alexander in her role as "Melissa". You could feel something brewing just beneath the surface throughout the entire film. Just incredible acting. Excellent. Loved it so much am leaving this review!
robnero I just read someones' review that clearly did not like it and found it disconnected. I can't help but wonder what kind of movie that person really wanted to see, because it clearly wasn't this one. It is a well connected story which parallels in a fashion, the essence of "The Crucible" as is implied. The young actors are true to the form of teenagers in high school, yes, seen before because teenagers behaviors rarely change. They are, as teenagers are. The drama is well felt as is written too. There is a sub story and a side story within this as well with a few other characters, the other students, the main character, the substitute teacher. Over all, without unraveling it, it is worth the view. I thoroughly enjoyed and the directing was also worth a mention, it was great. I hope all these get other work that shows their talent.
jacobkelly-49767 A thriller disguised as a character drama. I knew very little about Blame going into it, and that was for the best -- Let it surprise you. This movie is fantastic and so supremely clever. As both a directorial and writing debut, this is a wild success, and to have it helmed by a strong performance from the director, writer, producer, and songwriter herself? Amazing. Quinn Shephard is only 22 and she's already who I wanna be when I grow up.Every character is granted so much complexity and range without ever causing a stagnant moment in the story itself. The poster gives off the idea that these girls are being pitted against each other, and while the film initially follows that model, we soon see that these characters have far more compassion for one another than we though. Their relationships are so good, and the way they evolve is even better. I didn't expect this to be a story full of twists and turns, but as a high-school adaptation of The Crucible, it's perfectly fitting. The plants and payoffs Shephard weaves into her narrative are satisfying in the most genuine way.There are perhaps a few moments when Shephard's attention to her character's spreads too far, and we lose sight of our protagonist, but the successes here far outweigh any slight missteps. I don't know how wide of a release this received, but if any of you are able to see this in theaters or on VOD, I strongly recommend it. I love a good high-school movie, and Blame just might be a great one.
