    • 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.

    Decent watch but sad reality of gangs
    Not a bad watch, but acts as a sad reminder of the London gang culture that exists today. Also thought it could've done without the narrative rap scenes. If you don't like violent films this one's not for you.
