    • Trivia
      During its UK opening weekend a riot occurred at a VUE cinema in Birmingham, England, in the middle of a screening (speculation as to whether it was Blue Story (2019) or Frozen II (2019)). Over 100 people were allegedly involved, including young teenagers armed with machetes. The area was put under lock-down by police armed with tasers. As a result of the riot, VUE (and later Showcase Cinemas) decided to cancel all screenings of Blue Story and blame the violence on the film and the film's message. Further incidents also occurred during opening night, including a machete attack in Huddersfield.

    I liked this film. I'm a fan of top boy etc and this was a similar story. I found it funny, especially the scenes between the group of friends on the bus to the party. It reminded me of high school. The standout performance was Khali Best I thought he was hilarious and he's a really good actor. The film is grim in some parts and doesn't glamorise gang life. If you don't like this review you can ring me, or txt me, or DM me or write me or....
