Audience Reviews

Wren T Very long, disjointed and disappointing movie entirely in French with English subtitles. I believe this film was made for primarily two audiences: neither of which watches movies for their plotThe movie summary states that Adele formed a strong emotional and sexual connection with an older art student, but that is, in my opinion, not really accurate. Certainly she grows an attachment to her, and they do have a sexual connection, but the emotional connection is very one sided and they have an incredibly unhealthy relationship and communication style that doesn't improve throughout the film.The movie was a series of vignettes with harsh, unexpected transitions to totally different vibes with any amount of time passage that resulted in a total lack of congruity or plot with lots of loose ends. Several of the clips are just of the protagonist sleeping or eating sloppily for no apparent reason. There are extremely erotic scenes but often with little or no buildup, so they come completely out of the blue (perhaps a nod to the title). Several of the scenes are honestly not very realistic as they place these girls in every imaginable position. The first of the two audiences watches this film as a source of lesbian p*rnography.It primarily follows the protagonist through her failed hetero and lesbian relationships, and her growth into acceptance of herself while also growing into extremely unhealthy relationship attachment styles. I think what the movie does well is convey the feeling of disappointment, frustration, helplessness, and loneliness that comes when two people who lust for one another aren't in the same place when it comes to love, don't work through their differences in healthy ways, and use unhealthy coping mechanisms when they are unhappy instead of communicating. The movie left me feeling like I had had a bad experience with nothing more left than to just walk away from it all, much like the protagonist. I can see how there could be a second intended audience, as a niche critic view on the movie would lend it credit, or perhaps for the purpose of evaluating the film on the darker themes of love. But as a source of entertainment or a lesbian date night movie, I definitely don't recommend it. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review matthias s "Blue is the Warmest Colour" presents a mixed cinematic experience with some noteworthy elements.Adèle's exceptional acting shines amidst a film fraught with shortcomings. The movie's major flaw lies in its excessively long and unnecessary graphic scenes, coupled with a slow-paced and extended runtime. The thin storyline further hinders the overall impact, leaving the narrative lacking in depth and character development.Moreover, the film succumbs to perpetuating certain stereotypes, diminishing its potential as a progressive and inclusive portrayal of LGBTQ+ relationships. While Adèle's performance stands as a bright spot, the movie fails to fulfill its promise, ultimately resulting in a mediocre cinematic journey. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Natalia R I think is important to know the context in which this movie was filmed. One year before the filming, Kechiche met regularly with Adèle and Léa, to get to know them. If they wanted to go out of town for the weekend, they needed to get permission from Kechiche.Léa talks about the abusive environment that Kechiche created. Kechiche said that perhaps, if the movie hadn't got the awards it got, he could have ended up in jail. And, I know he said that to play the victim card regarding Léa Seydoux comment. But I believe that would have happened if his colleagues in Cannes hadn't come forward to support the movie. Léa said that Kechiche filmed 800 hours. I think it was a total abuse and there's not much difference from a p*rn film and this film. Léa's and Adèle's deserved to win the Palm D'Or, not Kechiche. They were able to raise from that sordid nightmare and come out as stars. Léa said that after filming that movie she was very destabilized. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review A great character study, emotional, with great acting, and beautifully shot.
