This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Toby Tobias, Writer and Director, says 'Blood Orange' is not what it seems and he is right. This noir film draws you in from the start and keeps you on tenterhooks as at no point can you guess what will happen next when the plot twists cleverly again till the last shot. In a stunning location with only four actors (Iggy Pop, Kacey Clarke, Ben Lamb and Antonio Magro) your sympathies change direction as the story develops. The reason for this being the truth of the characters and how they reflect our stories and lives. Life, death, love, sex, relationships, money and their impact! The main musical theme by Tim Arnold works incredibly well setting the mood and moving alongside the action. You leave deep in thought about your own life choices with the strains of Money Kills Love playing in your head!

Iggy Pop, though not a super actor, does his bit well...after all, he is playing an aging, 'sex, drugs and rock & roll' Rock star! (smile). While watching you enter into conversations from the main characters,.... trying to decipher where it started...as what you would do, if you were to mingle into someone else's conversation at a party....but you won't start to grasp it until a little while in, as the movie and characters start to develop. I found it intriguing, and being a major 'Secret Squirrel' fan, I am easily bored with thrillers that haven't taken the time to be inventive, have so many loopholes and you've worked out 'who done it' within the first 5 minutes! This movie is NOT one of those. With this movie, your intrigue into the characters backgrounds, keeps the momentum up and glued to the screen, leading you into a few directions, that clear up some unanswered questions you might have. Admittedly, the 'slooth' in me, had a spark about a third of the way through of what the conclusion would be, but it kept me questioning and in self doubt until right at the end! Well worth the watch for a low budget movie....well, I'm not sure what Iggy would have commanded, but movies like this I remember, as it's the Director that should be applauded for managing to keep us enthralled.

How on earth does this movie only have two reviews (so far) on IMDb?The casting couldn't have been better and Iggy Pop is a stand out as an old rock star. Hmmm... I wonder how that could be!Everyone except the dopey pool boy has a plan and they unfold at a leisurely pace until the final line is spoken.It's difficult to talk about the movie without giving the game away but I was reminded of a similar movie in both style and substance... the superb 1987 noir (yes, noir), Black Widow... and the similar movies that it spawned.This is an 'adult' thriller... there's not much in the way of actual violence. No shouting and no infernal young people in the way. Any thinking person and fan of legato measured dramas will enjoy this.The songs are well chosen, the photography is exquisite and there's not a second wasted.

First off, let me say both my husband and I are big Iggy Pop fans. So when we first heard about this film months ago, we got excited for it to come out. I pre-ordered a copy on Amazon.Fans or not, no one can say Iggy Pop didn't do a spectacular job as Bill. He was PERFECT for the part. So many times he made us chuckle. Bill was cool. Intelligent. Cunning. Sexy. Ben Lamb, Kacey Clark, and Antonio Magro were all believable, too, playing their characters well. The heat from Kacey radiated from the screen, and the relationship between her and Bill was nuanced and enticing.Their appreciation of who each other was is something I particularly enjoyed, it made me really feel they "got" each other.The movie drew us in right away, and the tension built slowly, seductively, drawing us in even further. Very noir atmosphere.I will watch it more than a couple times. Thank you for making this film.
