What color is the blue square
13 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is a humorous "coming of age" story about Ben Baker (Larry Longstreth). Ben drinks, smokes pot and works at a video game store. He is an adult living as a teen, playing D &D. Ben is smart, but an underachiever. His girlfriend Donna (Marisa Zakaria) is bored with his ways and leaves. Ben remakes himself to get her back, becoming the type of guy he hates. He has trouble adjusting, not knowing if he would be happier selling out and conforming to what Donna wants him to be, or just being himself without Donna. The movie symbolically shows Ben's dilemma with the blue square question.

I loved the metaphor of the blue square. The dialouge was 5 stars. The plot maintained my interest. The acting was...well I think they all got stoned and played themselves. It is a story for those of us who grew up late.

Frequent f-bombs, off screen sex, no nudity. Entertaining and clever like a good indie.
