What critics compared Blue Car to
I donât mean to be cynical, and I have no beef with a sympathetic take on child molesters so long as itâs done right, as it was in Todd Solondzâs Happiness, Andrew Jareckiâs barely documentary Capturing the Friedmans, and most admirably in Karen Moncrieffâs Blue Car, in which David Strathairn played a high school teacher unable to draw the line between mentoring and seduction.
