Rebel Rebel, an indie rock band composed of woke albeit sheltered teens, gets its biggest break at a prestigious local music festival. But after their celebratory night at the local bar, they are arrested for drug possession. Instead of the standard procedures, they were hauled to the Blue Room, a VIP detention area where they can bribe their way out through rogue cops. The band members have to decide whether to use their privilege to go on with their lives or to own up to what they had been preaching. (Source: Cinemalaya) Edit Translation

the film had a statement to make!
what i liked+ the story of this film shines light on the corruption that goes on with the authoritative figures of society
+ the actors were convincing in their roles. the cast nailed their characters
+ the setting of the film was giving modern coming-of-age. in scenes like at their gigs and the car ride leading up to the events but then it builds up and becomes intense yet still maintaining a somewhat cool tone. the film gives a glimpse of what could have gone wrong without becoming extremely disturbing if they did not have their said privileges (police brutality is way worse irl)
what i didn't like
- cussing was overused in my opinion and at times, it felt quite cringe because was it necessary to add "f*ck/ing" at certain dialogues? i get that they're supposed to be edgy and relatable to the youth today but the script writing could have been better in that aspect BUT i must say and slight spoiler coming ahead...
i'm paraphrasing here but it hit when jk said "kung hindi sa pangalan nya, makakalaya ba kami dito?" #shook
that was something that stuck with me at the end.
overall,
i recommend blue room. however, it is heavy and should not be watched around children.
blue room definitely had me pondering upon issues that our society faces when one becomes drunk with power.
