Several films have tried to depict the emotions arousing from the first love but few have managed to do as intensely and forensically as this film. Kechiche shoots the film almost exclusively using close-ups that capture almost every emotional undulation like an invisible oscilloscope of the soul. He richly depicts the emotional landscape of his heroine, Adèle, how her sensibilities grow and get attuned until the ruthless intrusion of reality.
Kechiche, always an astute social observer, does not harbour any illusions regarding the importance of social and cultural determinants in a relationship and clearly shows that love cannot overcome indefinitely the social barriers unlike the cinematic barriers that this magnificent film has succeeded so well in exploring and at times transcending. The work of a master.
I loved how that ending was the exact opposite of what we would have precieved. The close ups truely highlighted the intensity of the actors' emotions.
Blue is the Warmest color is the Blue Valentine of lesbian love.
The movie is an independent drama/romance of 3 hours long, this movie is so fantastic, so realistic, the details are well deliver, the two main females are fantastic, the chemistry is so real, Léa Seydoux is fantastic, Adèle Exarchopoulos is amazing, really beautiful, if she was in holywood she would be another Jennifer Lawrence or even better.
The sex scenes despite of be one of the better that I´ve ever seen in a movie, there are essential to the story and to the progess of the movie.
In the end you feel for the characters, and you realize the you were become really attached with the movie.
5/5
Very good but that first sex scene went on for so long that by the end it had my laughing. So when the second came around I could only picture Mr./Miss Garrison yelling, "yeah, scissor me!"
One of last year's finest films. Beautiful, gripping and I wish I had made it. Heck, I wish I had been aloud to make coffee for those that did make it.
I don't a believe a man can't comment on what a woman would feel or that a woman can't comment on how a man would feel,but is there any reason why the director couldn't have told the same story with a young gay boy/man?Would he have been allowed to shoot similar scenes with young gay men?
Brilliant film, although I was a little disappointed overall.
It captured the reality of love/relationships perfectly, but I found that the sexual scenes got boring quickly, although perhaps that was the point.

it didnt seem like three hours at all, everything just falls into place trough out the movie, very natural and realRodney Dangerfield
From IMDB trivia:I'm sure if he really wanted to, the director could have had that scene wrapped up in an hour ;)
