Aaron Eagle (Kieron Moore), the jacked, tattooed stud we meet within the kinky webcam routine that opens Elliot Tuttle’s Blue Movie is swaggering, flaunting his gym-honed physique and humiliating his male followers with homophobic slurs.
From the working feedback and lavish suggestions that fill his feed, it is clear they love his bullying. So, when one middle-aged viewer, Hank (Reed Birney) makes a startling provide — $50,000 for one night time with the stud in Los Angeles — Aaron heads to a suburban Airbnb feeling absolutely in management.
His confidence takes successful when Hank solutions the door in a ski-mask, units up a digicam, and divulges that he is aware of Aaron’s actual identify (Alex) and his hometown in Maine. Snatching off Hank’s masks, the 20-something fetish camboy is startled to acknowledge the middle-school instructor he’d often called Mr. Grant, who has since spent seven years in jail for an tried sexual assault on one other boy. Alex was by no means Hank’s sufferer, however at 12, he was an object of what Hank now disquietingly describes as “love.”
As a intercourse employee who’s accustomed to being objectified, Alex is probably much less thrown by this revelation than film audiences will likely be. Filmmaker Tuttle has arrange a confrontation that can result in an extended night time of soul looking and intermittent intercourse — a night that is designed to be unsettling for audiences, however does not truly show a simple sit for anybody, onscreen or off.
The 2 protagonists — one a convicted pedophile, the opposite a client-subjugating dom — do not invite straightforward sympathy, nor do they ask for it. Hank pairs a therapy-curated acknowledgment that his needs are morally abhorrent with an insistence that they’re unchangeable. Alex maintains that his transactional sexuality, with its emphasis on humiliating shoppers, is someway liberating and self-affirming.
In the midst of a booze and drug fueled night, each males’s long-practiced defenses will likely be damaged down, private traumas coughed up, and self-images cross-examined. Viewers attitudes are equally interrogated, with knee-jerk revulsion challenged, and extra nuanced responses inspired at each flip.
Compelling performances — Birney’s gooseflesh-inducing inquisitiveness as he seeks to have interaction his former pupil, countered by Moore’s charismatic however weak physicality — go a good distance towards making this provocative two-hander as haunting as it’s disquieting.
