Blue Jean movie review: cowardice and bravery as matters of survival

in UK cinemas; coming later this year to the US

MaryAnn’s quick take: A powerful, necessary film, deeply humane and sympathetic, ugly-beautiful in its panic, full of dread and bad behavior. We feel every iota of Jean’s anxiety at closeted life in the homophobic 1980s.
