Out of the Blue (1980)



A young girl whose father is an ex-convict and whose mother is a junkie finds it difficult to conform and tries to find comfort in a quirky combination of Elvis and the punk scene.

From memory: Dark, realistic drama with excellent performances, especially Linda Manz'; and using Neil Young's My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) to great effect.

Halliwell (no star): "At least she can count herself fortunate that she didn't have to sit through this film."

Maltin**1/2: "Taut, low-key drama; could be retitled "Child of Easy Rider.""
