Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Petros T — 09 Nov 2013

Ideologically confused, flawed and at times pseudoartistic, it's far from masterpiece [the one great thing is Exarchopoulos (although I didn't care much about her character), with Seydoux providing fine support and a few stronger moments as well], just good throughout: despite its three hours, it's sadly bereft of emotional crescendi save for a couple of scenes in the third part.

Its realism is of sentiment and avoids the "pedestrian" aspects of living, resulting in a rather small slice of life.
