Critic Reviews

• Kyle Smith, New York Post

  The strongest film I've seen in the first couple of days at Sundance is the riveting thriller "Blue Caprice," which should put first-time director Alexandre Moors on the map and win him some studio offers.

• David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

  The filmmakers have made a smart, sobering movie that speculates with compelling detachment on how the abhorrent urge to take innocent lives might evolve.

• Justin Chang, Variety

  Blue Caprice is a chillingly plausible and responsibly handled attempt to dramatize the disturbing bond between the two men behind the 2002 Beltway sniper attacks.

• Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

  A chilling psychological portrait of the two men behind the 2002 Beltway sniper attacks.

• Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film

  When it comes to what ultimately drove these two men to kill, Porto and Moors are more interested in difficult questions than easy answers and their film hits its target hard.

• Tomas Hachard, Slant Magazine

  The filmmakers are more interested in questioning what brings people to commit senseless and merciless acts than they are preoccupied with the historical record.

• Eric Kohn, indieWIRE

  "Blue Caprice" displays a willingness to stand apart from judgement and strike an investigative gaze.

• Jordan Hoffman, Badass Digest

  an intriguing look at burgeoning evil and manipulation.

• Ty Cooper, HeyUGuys

  Blue Caprice premiered at Sundance as part of the NEXT category and rightfully so because it most assuredly marks the beginning in what we hope will be a bright career for both Alexander Moors, and Tequan Williams.

• Michael Nordine, Film Threat

  Lyrical to the point of being ghostly.
