Blue Is the Warmest Colour

"What you get in these performances is intelligence, emotion and physicality, and when they come together as combustively as they do here, what you get is something extremely rare - a film that catches the messy, hot complexity of life and love." 

"You realise the film has won your heart without ever really asking for it, and you leave the cinema utterly lovesick. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)" 

"A sprawling, emotionally absorbing tale of young love from Franco-Tunisian auteur Abdellatif Kechiche." 

"A searingly intimate character study marked by the most explosively graphic lesbian sex scenes in recent memory. (...) The result is certain to stir excitement and controversy" 

"The movie feels far more about Mr. Kechiche’s desires than anything else. (...) It’s disappointing that Mr. Kechiche (...) seems so unaware or maybe just uninterested in the tough questions about the representation of the female body that feminists have engaged for decades." 

"'Blue Is the Warmest Color' sweeps you up on waves of humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
