Editor’s note: A quick note about Blueback (2022): This film falls squarely within the Family, Drama, and Adventure genres, but delivers a unique, personal touch. Under the direction of Robert Connolly, the movie maintains a thoughtful pace and a strong connection to its environment. With performances from Mia Wasikowska, Eric Bana, and Ariel Donoghue that feel natural and unpretentious, it unfolds comfortably over 1 hour and 42 minutes without lingering unnecessarily. While it may have some minor flaws, its positives more than compensate. The tagline—“He’s their best kept secret.”—captures the essence of the film. If this premise resonates with you, be sure to add it to your watchlist.
