Honestly, I'm not really sure what the hype was about. The movie dragged, the prolonged sex scenes were unnecessary, and like in many other LGBT/queer films the story ends in calamity. It romanticizes the all-too-common gay/lesbian tragedy theme we see over and over in queer films without so much as a strong representation of the gay community. Also, I'm not a fan of the bi-erasure and misogyny portrayed in this film. The only reason my scoring isn't any lower is because Seydoux and Exarchopoulos' acting were exceptional.

I admit I bought the DVD to watch the lesbian sex scenes, which was the same motivation to buy "Carol" (which has a lot less sex scenes). But after a few more viewings I was enchanted by this love story & Lea Seydoux & Adele Exarchopoulos displayed an acting masterpiece. It's hard not to fall in love with Adele.

Open heart surgery performed by an artist. Adèle Exarchopoulos is the bravest storm I've ever seen. A masterpiece.

The 3h sit was a long one. Even though it wasn't the movie I was expecting it did not feel like a waste of time at all.

Even with a 3h film, there are still questions left to be answered. The movies maintains a slow pace overall, but fast forwards a few times to not make the movie too boring More

An extremely sad film. Especially the few final scenes.

Blue is the Warmest Colour focuses extremely well on the demonstration of how family relationships are. Some individuals simply cannot accept something that for them is not normal, such as homosexuality, connecting it back to the side of the More

I loved almost everything about this movie.
It does't tell a particularly interesting or original story, but the way it's told and how it makes one feel part of it is fantastic. Adèle's extreme close-ups make the feeling of not fitting in palpable. She's always looking the other w More

Apart from the NC-17 sex scenes, the buzz of this film made me think it was going to be about the two people on the poster. But from the first frame, it's really just about one — Adele. So much film is spent focused on her face that it's easy to lose contact with other characters and the world aro More
