one of the best of the year. a reminder of the power of filmmaking to turn the deeply personal into relatable art -RogerEbert.com

It’s a film so delicately textured that it is as though you can practically reach out and touch the grass of the family’s yard. -The Wrap

an exquisitely perceptive and empathetic film. -Variety

Blue Heron’s most impressive quality is its ability to build trust with the viewer while telling a story through the lens of a famously unreliable narrator: memory. -NPR

something truly masterful. -New York Magazine

Heartbreaking barely begins to describe it, although the terms masterful and transcendent also apply. -The Daily Beast

In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha and her family relocate to a new home on Vancouver Island, but their fresh start is interrupted by increasingly dangerous behavior from the eldest son, Jeremy. At wit’s end, their parents are presented with a shattering choice. Award-winning director Sophy Romvari’s feature debut is a lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, masterfully chronicling the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.
