Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Raffy R — 16 Dec 2013

A film that evokes the most potent, realistic view of love in its rawest form: intense, cataclysmic, emotional and utterly unforgettable. It is a bold coming-of-age drama that makes you care about its young heroine, Adèle.

It is an impressive, ambitious work that features remarkably naturalistic performances and demonstrates a genuine feel for how all of us, regardless of inclination, learn to live with love, or without it, in our own messy and overcomplicated human ways.

Fearless, relatable and beautiful, this is one of the year's best. Prepare to break your heart over and over again.
