Audience Feedback:
“Visually striking and conceptually bold. ‘Pink Me Blue’ dares to ask why we ever boxed ourselves in by colour, or by anything.”
“What if pink didn’t mean one thing, and blue didn’t mean another? This film turns that simple question into something pretty profound.”
“It’s not only about breaking out of pink and blue boxes, it’s about breaking out of the idea that getting older is something to hide. Beautiful and freeing.”
“Such a cool concept, a sci-fi romance that unpacks all the boxes we are shoved into. Left me questioning why we ever needed them.”
“A gentle sci-fi reminder that who we are at any age is far more interesting than trying to stay forever young.”
“Who knew breaking stereotypes could be this dreamy? It’s like a love letter to the idea of letting people just be.”
“Futuristic yet so relevant. Shows how small shifts in thinking could completely rewrite what’s possible.”
“Loved how it didn’t just tackle gender norms but also our obsession with youth. “Pink Me Blue” makes you wonder why we fear growing older at all.”
