It bothers me so much. I have an antipathy toward puns as humor in general, but to name your movie a pun is a startlingly bad decision. Who let this happen? Who let a horror movie, without any sense of humor, have a pun-laden title? Whoever did this should be fired, and if it's writer/director Lisa Bruhlmann, then she should have her final grade revoked the finished film served as her thesis work for her film school. Blue My Mind is another in the burgeoning sub-genre of pubescent transformative features. The Canadians struck rich gory glory with the Ginger Snaps series where young women turned into werewolves. This Swiss movie replaces the werewolf story with a mermaid, which brings to mind an unsettling re-creation of Splash as bizarre body horror. It's too bad that Blue My Mind feels like the first draft of its freaky concept and proves ultimately unsatisfying. Mia Luna Wedler is 15 years old, the new girl at a new school, and anxious to fit in with the cool kids, chiefly the mean queen Gianna Zoe Pastelle Holthuizen. Mia is also undergoing some very radical changes. She's craving salt water, eating the fish out of her parent's fish tank, and noticing that her toes are starting to merge together with webbing. She's confused and angry and desperate to hide her secret from her friends and family. In a movie built upon the concept of girl-turns-into-mermaid, you would think there would be a lot of creepy and fascinating body horror episodes. It would be the primary conflict and primary secret. For far too long with Blue My Mind, the mermaid transformation is kept as an afterthought to a docu-drama approach to rebellious adolescence more akin to a Thirteen than David Cronenberg. Horror has long been parlayed as a metaphor for the strange and confusing time of puberty, having one's body morph and change against your will, feeling like an outsider, a freak. The coming-of-age model also works as a vehicle for some unconventional urges, as demonstrated as recently as last year in the visceral French horror film Raw, about a young woman finding her sense of self awaken with cannibalistic desires. Both Raw and Blue My Mind the title still makes me hurt on the inside function as sexual awakenings linked to monstrous appetites, both literal and figurative, that the women don't know how to control or if they should even attempt to. The genre dabbing is what separates both movies from their ilk. This is what makes Blue My Mind all the more frustrating because the mermaid aspects are poorly integrated until the final 20 minutes, and even then it's sadly too late. It's like the filmmakers decided that their one unique element wasn't so special after all. The majority of this movie is Mia acting out to try and fit in with her new pals. They smoke, they skip school, they shoplift; they're your classic bad influences that a typical bourgeois family would disapprove. Mia's parents don't understand why she's acting out and what has happened to their little girl. There's some tension over whether Mia is their biological child considering what she's undergoing. This curiosity pushes Mia to investigate her family's history but it too is left incomplete, another dangling interesting idea unattended. A solid hour of this movie is simply Mia sneaking behind her parents back, experimenting with her new friends, and testing her boundaries. It's effective, though there are moments that hint at something more that's never developed, like her sexual predilections that take on an extreme variety. There's a scene where the girls trade choking each other out for an oxygen-deprived euphoric high. If I was being generous, I'd say it was connected to Mia learning to enjoy not breathing through her lungs and setting up a transformation for gills. But I'm not that generous. It comes across as a dangerous kink that tempts Mia but then is forgotten. Much of this hour hinges on the audience caring about the relationship forming between Mia and Gianna, and I couldn't because I think the film was too indecisive on what Gianna represented. She's not a terribly complex character but what does she mean to Mia? Is she a genuine friend, a figure of sexual desire, a cautionary tale, a rival? Blue My Mind seems to emphasize a sexual awakening for Mia and attaches Gianna as the recipient of those confused feelings. If these two were meant to serve as the key for audience empathy, we needed more scenes with them developing as characters rather than repeating rote rebellious teen hijinks. When Bruhlmann does focus on the mermaid transformation, the film is inherently fascinating and consequently aggravating, as you imagine what a better version of this premise could have afforded. There is some wonderful makeup prosthetics to reveal Mia's skin peeling from her legs, leaving behind shiny black gamines that reminded me of Under the Skin. When the boys catch a glimpse of her hidden physical afflictions, they assume she has some STD and slut shame her. She takes scissors and personally slices the membranes fusing her toes together, and I had to cover my eyes it was so squirm inducing. The final transformation is a bit underwhelming until you remember that this was a student film that managed to get an international release. The technical specs are very professional, especially the sun-dappled cinematography by Gabriel Lobos. Bruhlmann captures the internal feelings of her characters very well in a visual medium, relying upon Wedler to do a lot of heavy lifting that the screenplay refuses to perform. You feel her revulsion with herself and yearning for connectivity, something universal for every teenager struggling to claim their sense of self in an indifferent world. Fortunately Wedler is an impressive young actress that might break your heart, if only her character was allowed to open up to the audience better. It's a movie that toys with ideas, moods, and purpose. Blue My Mind is a story about a young girl turning into a mermaid against her will and the movie decides that this is a secondary story element. The implementation of metaphor in horror is a common storytelling device to communicate the horrors of the everyday. Throw in the coming-of-age self-discovery angle, as well as a sexual awakening, and it's tailor-made for some strange transformations that excite and terrify the protagonist. It's just that Blue My Mind takes its metaphor a little too absentmindedly. By putting the mermaid body horror in the background rather than the driving force, the film mistakes our interest and pushes forward a group of characters not ready to handle that level of scrutiny. I feel like Blue My Mind wastes the potential of its premise and the acumen of its actors. This movie could have been better and instead it settles for the familiar even amidst the weird and fantastic. Blue My Mind isn't as bad as its painful title but it certainly won't blue you away. Nate's Grade C+ Welcome to Cheat Sheet, our brief breakdown-style reviews of festival films, VR previews, and other special event releases. This review comes from the 2018 What The through puberty can be frightening. Newly sprouted pubic hair, weird dreams and weird smells, and a rapidly changing body are strange, off-putting things. But what if you were also growing scales and turning into a carnivorous monster? In Lisa Brühlmann’s Swiss feature Blue My Mind, a young girl undergoes this radical physical transformation, just as she’s navigating a new high school and falling in with new friends who are into recreational drugs. What’s the genre?It’s horror and fantasy, mixed to a degree that borders on magical realism. Brühlmann brings in body horror and mutilation on a level rivaling Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, but she mixes it with teen angst and existentialism. Brühlmann does a great job of balancing this magical, aquatic world within the realistic themes of adolescence and early it about?The film opens in modern Switzerland, in a high school where the cool kids, led by Gianna Zoë Pastelle Holthuizen, smoke cigarettes, shoplift, and do sexy dances by the school entrance, all while staying tightly within their own clan. Mia Luna Wedler is the new girl at school, which makes her vulnerable, even though she’s gorgeous enough to fit in with the popular kids. By being eager to please, learning to sexy dance, and changing her wardrobe, Mia earns an invitation to join Gianna’s gang. But in her strenuous efforts to fit in, Mia gets caught in dangerous situations. She’s nearly apprehended by a security guard at a mall for shoplifting, and because the other girls tease her for still being a virgin, she tries to lose her virginity to a lonely man from the internet who resembles Sen. Ted add to her sense of isolation, Mia’s parents are completely clueless about what’s going on. But they do know that Mia is acting strangely and has made some questionable friends. Throughout the film, the adults are no help. They interrogate Mia, they ban her from a school field trip to an amusement park, and when Mia’s transformation edges toward completion, they’re away at a relative’s it really about?In real life and fiction alike, teen angst — and, on a more extreme level, mental illness — can be opaque to people who aren’t experiencing them. Both can be hard to communicate to an outsider, and both contribute to people shutting themselves down and isolating themselves instead of seeking help. As Mia transforms into a fish-creature, her growing anxiety and alienation from friends and family have a tangible source, but she can’t tell anyone about it because she feels what’s happening to her has no scientific explanation, and it’s too gross to look at. The fish-creature analogy suggests a form of mental discomfort that onlookers might dismiss as growing pains, but which could be a more serious sign of hidden mental and emotional sickness. Brühlmann doesn’t pin down how deep Mia’s problems go, which leaves the metaphor open-ended enough to apply to a range of the same time, Blue My Mind is about feminism. The film premiered in Switzerland in 2017, before MeToo spread across Hollywood, then globally. But its themes resonate with the movement the film portrays Mia’s male sexual partners as creepy, self-serving menaces who only steal her agency. Still, Mia isn’t powerless against them. As she changes, she’s also growing in physical strength, although she’s emotionally approaching a breakdown. She shoves people to the ground, and she picks and chooses her encounters and who she’ll be closest My Mind also resonates with queer themes. Mia’s panic at the precipice of her change is evocative of trans preteens who want to start hormone regimens before they undergo puberty and face irrevocable changes to their bodies. She tearfully rejects every new physical loss webbing forming between her toes, her feet merging together. The film hints at a queer romance that’s never confirmed Mia and Gianna fall into bed together after a party and hug each other tightly, comforting each other more effectively than any guy they might perfunctorily “bounce.” That’s Swiss-German slang for sex, which comes across despite any language barrier, given how many times it’s repeated in the film. These are timely issues, and Blue My Mind compacts them all into less than two hours with efficient storytelling and subtle allusion. Instead of spelling out what’s going through Mia’s mind, Brühlmann turns the camera on Wedler’s heartbroken gaze and the shadows falling on her, while a glimmer of light shines through the window. Brühlmann’s ambiguous, evocative images document rather than judge. The precocious teen parties and wild shoplifting trips are never deemed terrible, although for these characters, sex feels meaningless, and mental agony is nearly too overwhelming to face. The most Blue My Mind does to tack a thesis onto the film is in capturing Mia’s complete apathy toward men and her unbridled obsession with her body, rivaled only by her desire to be Gianna’s friend. Is it good? Enjoying the film requires enjoying teen angst and body horror since there isn’t a moment without them. But the beauty of Blue My Mind is its cinematography. Brühlmann evokes the world you see when you’re blinking, the flutter of eyelashes and submergence of light into shadow, and the way it can look like the crashing of waves in the ocean. This cinematographic trick comes up repeatedly, to add a confusing, hypnotic, dreamlike quality to the film, and to represent the call of the ocean. That metaphor of eyelashes and waves mirrors Brühlmann’s greater metaphor at play, which is the similarities between mermaids and girls on the brink of adulthood. Like mermaids, young girls are sometimes relentlessly, even predatorily, chased by men. Mythical creatures and young women can both be unsure what place they have in the world they’re starting to explore. But both also have unique fortitude. For all its sad scenes, Blue My Mind is no tragedy, and Mia’s not a victim. As she turns, she grows more desperate and able to adapt to her circumstances, and it’s empowering to should it be rated?Given all the male nudity and monstrous body horror, this film earns a solid can I actually watch it? Blue My Mind had an international release in 2017 and won the Swiss Film Awards for best screenplay, actress, and fiction film. It’s currently touring film festivals. An American release is still pending. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rape scenes and scenes showing male genitalia should be cut off!If I give 3 stars, that's overrated. So I gave this only 0 star. This film has a storyline that is very messy and difficult to think logically. This film has an adult scene where this girl is raped and reveals the intimate parts of a man. What does it mean? Why does this film show the intimate part of the man? Then, what film is this? Talking about a mermaid or a teenager who is going through puberty? And then it is so disgusting that the girl eats the goldfish alive. I'm just giving advice to the audience not to watch this film because it's just a waste of time and it doesn't have a good moral message, it doesn't have a good screenscript, and the storyline doesn't make sense.… Expand Your Gateway to the Trends and Tropes of the Horror Genre Eric’s Review Blue My Mind 2017 ★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Directed by Lisa Brühlmann Two great tastes that go great together Teen coming-of-age movies and body horror. Blue my Mind explores a Swiss girl’s trying to fit into a new school while slowly metamorphosing into something beastly. It’s a natural combination. The fear of monstrous body changes both normal and highly abnormal. Mia Luna Wedler, Streaker doesn’t know it yet, but she’s a mermaid, and as her subtle behavioral and physical changes, her self consciousness gets the better of her and she keeps these things a secret. For all the women out there who ever wished they had the Ariel experience in reverse, well this might dissuade some of those thoughts. Mia is also going through a rough patch with her parents, bristling at their simple questions, and she is desperately wanting to be part of the cool kids’ clique at her school. And as is true with many girls coming of age films, these young women are capricious, cruel, and undeniably pretty and petty. A similarly themed movie that I recently watched, Mon Mon Mon Monsters!, had similar themes of the outcast trying to become one of the cool kids. Unlike that Taiwanese film, however, Mia manages to win over the bad girls of her school. The naughtiness of risk-taking and boundary-pushing comes naturally to Mia, and she quickly wins over the alpha female of the pack of mischief-makers, Gianna Zoë Pastelle Holthuizen, who is brazen, beautiful, and controls the social dynamic of their school. Soon, Mia and Gianna are bonded, trusting each other as they engage in drugs, sex, and well… more drugs and sex. Eventually, though, Mia’s metamorphosis becomes something difficult to hide. She confides in a doctor, but that becomes a dead-end, and she confronts her mother believing her mom and dad are not really her parents, and there are suggestions through the storytelling that seem to lend credence to her suspicions. She resists her early forms of transformation, such as cutting out the emerging webbing between her toes OUCH! and hiding her legs that are beginning to bruise, molt, and generally look like a horrific massive rash. Thematically, the film reminds me a bit of Ginger Snaps. A teenage girl finding her way through her emerging sexuality at the same time as she’s going through a bestial transformation. These films cry out with the “What’s happening to me?!?” moment that stokes the hormones and fears of adolescent girls everywhere. The movie also bears the marks of the current wave of European horror films, like Raw, Goodbye Mommy, Beast, and Let the Right One In. These are largely quiet films, dramatic studies first, that draw the horror out slowly. In fact, I would suggest that this is actually much more of a very dark fantasy tale rather than a true horror movie, as Mia is more of a risk to herself than she is to others. This film was featured at last year’s Overlook Film Festival, and though light on the violence and gore, there is plenty of “ick” factor, and it proved that it belonged in that collection of genre titles that Overlook curated. This is director Lisa Brühlmann’s first feature film, and it immediately launches her into a director to watch going forward. When a director comes out with a coming-of-age film early in their careers, you have to suspect there is a bit of an autobiographical edge to it. And, in an interview with the website MEAWW, she reveals that she took a lot of her own life experiences, and the shame and aggressive self-destructive behavior. The movie left me feeling cold, and I don’t know that I ever really enjoyed the movie, though it kept my attention. This movie has a whole lot of lonely built into it, and at the conclusion, that feeling is pervasive. Her transformation complete, you wonder what the rest of Mia’s life will be like. The scariest parts of this movie also had nothing to do with her physical change into a creature, but instead, with some of the terrible decisions Mia makes with drugs, booze, and sex. Though the movie features teenagers, be warned, this is not a movie particularly suited for impressionable young teens. There is definitely a hard edge to this film. Both Wedler and Holthuizen both exhibit great charisma and can hold a frame exquisitely. The Swiss movie industry isn’t exactly a juggernaut, so I would be curious to see if either of these actresses start seeing work in more widely distributed films from France, England, or the US. I would be curious to know what our female fans think of this movie. I suspect it is a much more compelling movie for women than men, as the themes are so very tied to female fears. Blue My Mind is Rated R, for strong sexual content, drug use, and language. It is available for streaming on Amazon.
