Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Kevin C — 14 Nov 2014

Much like the main character, Adèle, this film is a voracious, all-or-nothing roller coaster of vulnerability and humanity. Only the movie "Boyhood" can rival this for how real and genuine and true to the human spirit life is depicted.

It's an absolutely masterful piece, and you will see yourself in each of the characters. It is oftentimes wildly uncomfortable, because it feels like the very lives you and I lead. This isn't a film about being lesbian or queer or a teenager -- it's a film about being human, and how tragic and hopeful life can be. It's about love, and the highs and lows and despair and ecstasy that results from it.

I 100% recommend this to everyone. It is one of the best films I've seen, for it captures the human life to to a degree that film seldom can.
