*(exerpt of review for DokuFest DokuDaily.pdf)) * This is a film that glows with subtle criticism. Goats appear frequently throughout the film, symbolizing the domestic rhythms of Marianne and Pétion's life. When one is brought to slaughter, Suffren subtly challenges the endurance of this existence. Inviting the question: can a life sustained only by passivity and sacrifice truly endure? This question, along with its innate critique of the psychological toll of American imperialism, forms the dogma of this film, making Blue Heart a necessary and deeply compelling work.
