Carol Morely’s fourth feature Out Of Blue stars Patricia Clarkson as a troubled detective on the pursuit of a suspected serial killer. Adapted from Martin Amis’s 1997 novel Night Train and with a screenplay courtesy of director herself, the film has aspirations of being a smart hardboiled neo-noir with a cosmic twist, but in reality it is a decidedly muddled, jarringly directionless and an altogether baffling offering from a filmmaker who, it has to be said, is capable of far more coherent output.
When famous astrophysicist Jennifer Rockwell (Mamie Gummer) is found dead at the observatory of her New Orleans university, detective Mike Hoolihan (Clarkson) is compelled by an unknown force that appears to bind her with the dead woman to pursue the case and find her killer. With Jennifer’s boyfriend Duncan (Jonathan Majors) and slippery colleague Prof Ian Strammi (Toby Jones) as prime murder suspects, the detective...

Last year at the Toronto Film Festival, we had the pleasure of sitting down with one of our favourite British filmmakers Carol Morley, alongside star of the silver screen Patricia Clarkson, for their collaboration on the unique cop thriller Out of Blue – out this Friday.
In a serene hotel courtyard we discussed how conventional cop dramas are so steeped in cinematic tradition, and whether their approach towards the project was born more so out of film, than reality. they also comment on the otherworldly feel, and how of course this differs from the director’s striking docu-film Dreams of a Life, while Morley also talks about her admiration for Clarkson.
Their evident friendship illuminated the interview, for Clarkson too speaks of her indelible experience shooting this film, and also on the internalised display that this character require. In the meantime, we also get quite deep and discuss the universe, because why not?...

Some murder mysteries begin with murders; some begin with Mamie Gummer giving a lecture on a rooftop, arguing that all life springs from death, all death springs from life, and 90% of matter is invisible. “You can tell a lot by looking,” she tells her students. But in the world of “Out of Blue,” it’s the telling that takes up most of the running time, and it’s a little monotonous, if we’re being honest.
Patricia Clarkson stars as Mike Hoolihan, a detective investigating the death of astrophysicist Jennifer Rockwell (Gummer), who was shot in an observatory shortly after that opening lecture. Rockwell’s death is no ordinary murder. It looks suspiciously like the work of the never-captured but long since retired “.38 Caliber Killer.” And all of the suspects are spacey intellectuals who pontificate about highfalutin concepts like Schrödinger’s cat and alternate realities when they should be telling...

Author Martin Amis just can’t catch a break when it comes to seeing his novels adapted for the big screen. Last year saw the atrocious London Fields not so much get released as it did escape development hell. Now, after playing at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, another Amis adaptation hits theaters. It’s Out of Blue, which mixes the investigation of a death with an exploration of astrophysics. If that sounds like a tough pill to swallow, it is. Despite some interesting moments, Out of Blue is too hazy about its themes to work and ends up frustrating way more than it entertains. The movie is a police procedural, at least in name only, though it mixes in liberally some astrology chatter and other such astrophysical mumbo jumbo. When renowned astrophysicist and black hole expert Jennifer Rockwell (Mamie Gummer) is found shot to death in her observatory,...

It’s comforting to discover that the Martin Amis novel Carol Morley’s Out of Blue adapts is considered a “comedic parody” because I couldn’t wrap my head around the blatant noir affectation she had her stellar cast provide. An off-putting drama full of red herrings meant to distract from a predictable end, despite those artificial performances being intentional, the sheer fact I wasn’t sure if I should be laughing renders the result less than successful.
With that said, though, it is interesting. Centering upon the death of an astrophysicist and expert in black holes (Mamie Gummer’s Jennifer Rockwell), the story follows Detective Mike Hoolihan (Patricia Clarkson) and her quest to bring a murderer to justice. After reading a synopsis of the novel it seems as though that’s where the similarities end. Instead of being relegated to menial work around the precinct like her literary counterpart,...
