Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Xmnz23 — 02 Mar 2014

My experience with the French Cinema is extremely limited. Hollywood is my thing and on Europe cinema I have always liked British cinema. So I might sound like a ignorant person while I review this piece of awkwardness.

Too many close shots made me to close my eyes from time to time. Adele had the same expressionless face all the time in this movie. To be honest I've watch this movie to tear it apart and surprisingly this move had some good stuff from time to time.

That little details that presented wrong really gave me a bad taste to mouth. First: There is not a thing called "hard metal" (although that name could be the subtitles fault). Second: While you are dreaming you are completely PARALYZED.

You can't touch yourself while sleeping. The best thing you can do is to twitch your arm a bit. That first spaghetti scene is disgusting! In fact all eating scenes are disgusting in this movie. For a 3 hour long boredom stuff goes completely fast.

You had a kiss? BAM! SEX! You went to club to see your friends? BAM! KISS! What the hell? Can't you do a little bit explaining and preparation for a 3 goddamn hour long movie? Because of these details are extremely fast the main plot goes too slow.

It was utter boredom. I divided this movie into 3 parts in my mind. The complete disaster which is the first hour, a fairly nice middle hour and complete disappointment which is the final hour. Can I say that this "15 minute long sex scene" is a placeholder.

Yeah it shouldn't be that long. It wasn't necessary. As a girl who had ZERO EXPERIENCE of lesbian sex she made a better job than porn stars. WHAT THE F***? How the hell can she be so good at this kind of sex without any experience? Because plot moves too slow and sub plots goes too fast a placeholder like that was necesarry.

At first hour my score was 3/10 to this movie. I was clutching my face. Than in the middle hour movie starts to pick up the pace. Some interesting events happened and I got attached. During that times my score went up to 7/10.

It was really good. Emma and Adele relationship was shown perfectly. We see how LGTB people lives, what they feel? It was educational. This had to end at that hour. Because the disappointment which is the 3rd hour had come.

Movie got a major step back to 5/10. It was boring. There wasn't anything happening during these hours and the stuff that mattered like Adele cheating was felt forced in to this movie. "Yea let's have a bad situation to our happy couple because that's how the movies works.

Come on guys this movie has to be three hours." -_-. I barely know anything about human psychology. I don't know nothing about LGBT psychology but I wouldn't forgive my same gendered partner which had sex with the opposite gender that easy.

Let's come to another important factor in this movie. Can't I watch an artisctic film without any information on philosophers or painters? Can't I watch this movie without having any artistic integrity.

Because I felt that the director is trying to say "Why are you watching my movie you uncultured douche?" to me. Adele's acting was good. She shows some skill wherever it was necessary. Like the classroom scenes.

Oh! Don't get me started on the cafe scene because when they were making up it appears they went invisible because no one told them to quit it. Making out in a cafe is ok and understandable but starting to touching each other in a cafe had to put some eyebrows up.

I've been to France and surprisingly never seen anybody touching each other. 5/10 until that ending. That ending was incomplete and it didn't bring any satisfying conclusion and brought one point down.

If you want to see and learn more about lesbian life I recommend you to watch Boy's Don't Cry. Not this.
