Three stars or more
"Forty Shades of Blue" is one of those films that I enjoy but feel could have been even better. It seems to me that the editing lacks one or two additional moments to enhance the flow between scenes, making the narrative more cohesive. Even so, I liked the experience and gave it 3 stars. However, it leaves the impression that, with a few small adjustments, it could have earned a higher rating.
The theme is intriguing, exploring a delicate family dynamic-the romantic involvement of a son with his father's young wife. It's a situation that, realistically, could only be resolved through a family rupture, yet that rupture never truly happens. The film handles this complexity with subtlety, making it all the more thought-provoking. The way it navigates the ambiguity of human relationships is engaging and forces us to reflect on how far the real world is from perfection.
