shevaunhodge This film is breathtaking and sticks in your mind for days. Its is 3 hours long, but there is not a dull moment. The film is in french and the English is subtitled. I am not usually keen on this type of film, but a found after only a small bit of time you forget it is subtitled and become more engrossed in the film, due to the fact that you have to read the subtitles, a swell as listen and watch. It is a lesbian love story and highlights problems that teenagers might experience whilst growing up and learning about who you are. Adele is the main character, and dates men and finds that there is something missing,and being with men doesn't please her sexually. She then kisses one of her female friends, but is then rejected. She meets Emma and feels something she has never experienced before. She is then rejected by her friends because of her sexuality, and is devastated by this, but the film shows Adele growing up and eventually comes to terms with who she is. The acting throughout the film is amazing. I had never seen a film with the two main actresses in because they are french. Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux acting is superb all the way though. They make the story so believable and real. They have great chemistry in the film, and due to the fact that I was so impressed with the film, I have watch them both being interview about blue is the warmest color, and it is evident that they have a lot of chemistry off screen also. The sex scenes in the film are a bit hard to watch considering they are slightly over the top, but overall they are amazing. They are so real and the actresses preform them so well. When I first watched the sex scenes I thought that they were having sex for real due to the fact that the actresses were completely naked, and you could see everything, but obviously wasn't the case and the actresses private areas were artificial. The end of the film was a bit sad, but I suppose it was realistic. It highlights what could happen in real life, and that Love stories do not always have an a happy ending.Overall brilliant film, with the best acting I have ever seen.

ashnexus This is on Netflix. Probably the best LGBT film I've ever seen. It's a love story. The characters are believable as is their acting. It's quite explicit in some scenes so not for under 18s but despite that it's a very honest and true film. It's nice to see a film which focuses on the couples love rather than them being victims or outsiders in society. Although the film does highlight some social pressures of being out as a young person in modern day France the film really is a love story about freedom, art and expression as well as growing up and acceptance. It's a French movie, subtitled but don't let that put you off. It does everything a good love story should without the tinsel town Hollywood touch. As good as Priscilla and Roman Holiday. It's up there. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2278871/

liVetoair2466698 I'll grant you, soft-core, but porn all the same.First off, I found this film to be extremely exploitative. The story of two Lesbians is a vehicle for some extremely (I would underline that and put it in all caps) gratuitous sex scenes, filmed by a director who is, to my knowledge, straight.Now, I shall grant the few readers of this that, in most circumstances, that is not a good ground to dismiss something as exploitation, but in light of the two actresses claims of harassment during the shooting and the nearly pornographic content of the film (no, seriously, don't show this to your parents), I make my case there.The film graphic content of this film also has the, I assume, unintended consequence of completely alienating me, personally, from this supposed "intimate and heartfelt" relationship. It's hard to think of intimacy and closeness when a ten minute scene of the two actresses performing various lesbian sex acts is thrown in your face.Performance-wise, I preferred Léa Seydoux's performance, as she at least gave an expressive performance. Adèle Exarchopoulos might as well have been wearing a mask, because the only time I noticed her emoting was when tears were coming out of her eyes.The editing at points seemed rather dissonant, with a couple of these sex scenes being accompanied with music that would signify something romantic à la most Hollywood movies. It has a strange disconnect for me in these scenes, again, mostly because of their graphic content.In terms of script-writing it was alright. It stuck pretty closely to the Hollywood three-act structure, so it would have been pretty hard to mess that up, but, while I can't say I was bored, I am still perplexed as to why this movie was three hours long.And that's about all I want to say about this film.Exploitative, kinda hypocritical, alright screenplay, some decent acting.

tonik_2000 I found it really hard to give the slightest crap about Adele. The entire movie is her expressionless, mouth-hung-open, boring face. That's pretty much it. Boring. Nothing interesting ever happens. Unless you find shots of an expressionless face interesting. God... just add drool coming out of her mouth, and it would be perfect. And then, when eventually, Adele has a burst of blubbering crying, she still manages to do THAT with a flat affect. So I guess that means I'm supposed to care about her. I didn't. And during the sex scenes I kept saying to myself "this movie is basically an excuse for soft porn isn't it." Oh and for some reason there's a lot of scenes of people eating what appears to be the same recipe of spaghetti, over and over. Stupid. Stupid, boring movie. Unless you like staring at a girl's face that does nothing but sit there motionless. Like I said just add some drool.And I suppose it's custom in France for people to talk while shoving food in their mouths? Exposing everything that's stuck to their tongues and teeth, in between words, because that's what happens, when they eat. They talk. And we definitely get to "SEE FOOD" if you remember the old joke where you ask someone if they want "SEA food" and you stick your tongue out with food on it so they "SEE food." I had to force myself to watch this highly recommended, award winning piece of crap til the end. It's mostly just the main character that does it for me. I can't get over how dopey she is. I really grew sick of her pretty quick and didn't give a crap about anything she might be going through. This entire movie is mostly shots of her dumb flat dull dopey face being boring. What a total piece of crap. Lesbians being boring lesbians. And I guess I'm supposed to care.
