Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Alessandro F — 13 Mar 2017
This universal romantic drama is a beautiful representation of love, self-discovery and growth that is not just 'another lesbian movie' but a relatable tale for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation.
The use of close-ups and of color, together with two stunning lead performances help create one of the most authentic, emotionally raw and resonating love story I've ever seen. On the downside, the three hour runtime hinders the movie, and some scenes and dialogue feel quite forced.
I also felt that the pace was uneven and in some parts the movie slowed down too much. The much-talked sex scenes are extremely explicit, but they are functional to the story and director succeds in giving us the idea of Adele's excitement, even though at least the six minute one could have been shortened a bit.
It Could have been a masterpiece, it is 'only' a really good and well-crafted film.
