Info

Olle, an introverted, well-mannered boy with an air of innocence and sincerity about him has been camping with his father at the same camping ground with several other people for years now. A sort of tradition that ends in a karaoke party. Then one summer, a family friend brings her reticent 'city boy' nephew, Kevin, and his pet budgerigar. Olle accidentally releases the bird and what follows is a discovery of friendship and love between the guy who has grown up in a loving environment and simply accepts love for what it is and the guy who's apparently been burned too many times in his own circle to feel comfortable with it.

Lucky Blue Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Kirpianuscus sweet-bitter atmosphere. perfect cast. wise story. inspired atmosphere. a form of realism who gives seductive form of realism. because it is a film about past and memories and clash between different manners to understand the life. all presented in delicate manner. the contrast between Olle and Kevin is the most important virtue of this short film about holiday, self definition and new beginning. Britta Andersson does a great job , giving the key -character, who knows, who looking preserve the equilibrium, who preserves her fears and see the right solution of a possible crisis. and Tobias Bengtsson seems be the best choice, maybe only for be Olle. a beautiful film. that is all.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Lucky Blue" is a 28-minute live action short film from almost 10 years ago and the first thing that needs to be said is that you may want to make sure you get subtitles for this one. The film's title is English, but it's actually the name of a bird in the film and all the talking is in Swedish. The director and writer is Håkon Liu and this was his second filmmaking effort. The two male lead actors, especially the one who is even more lead than the other, are not too experienced and it shows on some occasions. I have seen many gay-themed short films and this one here is neither among the worst, nor among the best. It is sadly not a particular good watch nonetheless. There are some cheesy and cringeworthy moments and the reference of the bird flying out of his cage compared to the boys breaking free and admitting their sexuality is really pretentious. A couple solid moments, a couple bad moments, overall not enough good to let me recommend it. Thumbs down.
Edwin Rodriguez Excellent film that I enjoy watch it many time from time to time, observing in their details. The performance of the cast is excellent much better than famous actors, especially Olle (Tobias Bengtsson) who knows to show perfectly the innocence, brave and love. His sweet and fresh smile fits very well in the film. Credit for the director and the scriptwriter too. it will be one of my film that I keep it close to me, because when after seeing the short film, I can feel the love on the air with a happy ending, that make me feel cheerful. It is a good example of good short film with low budget and only four actors. Thanks for festival I could to know about this films and others,that inspire me to write some short novels and scripts.
Allendorf For me, this film is a masterpiece -- albeit its short length.It all began when Kevin happen to travel with his aunt and met with Olle in a holiday trailer park. Considering its short length of the film - I would feel remorse of disclosing any plot after this :).What being the most powerful way the director managed this film is that - instead of using complex plot, tragedies, and multiple characters that many full length movies use- the director has eliminated all these noises and focused into the 'passion' and 'affection' component of the film and let those carries the story until its very end which makes this movie very powerful.I had never been impressed with 'coming out' short story because most of them ends in either separation, deaths, tragedy or just filled with other ambiguities that leaves the audience lingering unsatisfied. But Lucky Blue proves me wrong.The simplicity and the short length of the film, for me, certainly has accomplished its true purpose that is not only to entertain but also to inspire and gives hope to people affected by such sensitive issue.
