Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Matthew D — 21 Apr 2018
The best romance film I have ever seen!
A beautiful and intense take on lesbian love in a modern era with a very respectful and complex perspective on the issue. Lea & Adele give masterful performances demonstrating real emotion in every scene of this absolute masterpiece of film. The best romance drama film I have ever seen in my life!
Gorgeous cinematography, direction, colors, lighting, and environments build up the amazingly thoughtful script and the incredibly subtle acting performances of the two leading ladies. Lea & Adele have such loving chemistry and give the performances of a lifetime.
Blue Is the Warmest Color absolutely deserved and earned the Palme D'or at Cannes. This is a very faithful adaption of Julie Maroh's graphic novel Blue Is the Warmest Color with the exception of the ending, which I will not spoil. But I will say the emotional impact of this film left me with a similar emotional state as did the novel.
A harrowing tale of unrequited love, coming of age story, sexual curiosity and maturity, and the most profound and complex look at love as there has ever been captured on film. Artistic in style, while also being so totally relatable and personable in its portrayal.
I highly recommend Blue Is the Warmest Color.
