This is quite possibly true, and yet a great film is a delicate alchemy, and I would not tamper with it. Some might argue that Kechiche depicts too much of the sex. The attraction is intense, and the bedroom scenes show where it all leads. But Kechiche shows us Adele's soul, so that we know she's extraordinary, too, if only in her ability to feel and to give of herself. Seydoux conveys the mind of an artist, and in all the ways the world measures it, Emma is the more extraordinary person. Emma (Seydoux) is an art student, from an artsy upper-middle-class family, while Adele is lower-middle-class - class will become an issue as the film wears on. When Adele first sees Emma, who is about five or six years older and has blue hair, it's love at first sight, and it registers on Exarchopoulos' face in the way it does in real life - like a kick in the stomach, like a forced recognition of one's own incompleteness. Without doubt, this is Western cinema's most mature and assured performance by a teenage actress since Sandrine Bonnaire's award-winning work in 'A Nos Amours' and 'Vagabond' 30 years ago. When the character grows into her mid-20s, Exarchopoulos (18 at the time of filming) evokes the aura and sensibility of a responsible adult woman. When the character is a teenager, Exarchopoulos thinks teenage thoughts. In close-up, we see an actress whose thoughts and moods are always shifting and revealing themselves, who is interesting in every frame. Though Seydoux, a major star in France, gets top billing, it's Exarchopoulos, previously unknown, who is the movie's focus. In group scenes, director Abdellatif Kechiche just leaves the camera on Exarchopoulos. We meet Adele (Exarchopoulos) in high school, and unlike the usual bland teenage protagonist, she is already vivid - lively and confident, with a touch of insolence, an arresting low voice and an epicurean response to food. From the beginning, it settles into a rhythm that makes sense of its length and gives the viewer a deep sense of place. The film is 179 minutes long and needs all 179 minutes. When it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Steven Spielberg, hardly a radical, was president of the jury.

I doubt anyone walks out of 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' feeling they've seen a sex movie. But unlike in a film of pornography, the sex is simulated (as in no actual genital contact), and the overall point is not to arouse. On the contrary, if you don't find these scenes erotic, you've probably been dead for at least a week. The scenes, which are explicit and protracted, earned the film an NC-17 rating, and it would be disingenuous to claim they're not erotic. They're without a doubt awkward to sit through, but they don't ruin the film either.It arrives from France on a wave of controversy for its depictions of lesbian sex between the two young women, played by Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos. There's a plot point near the end where you kind of have to know that the girls' sex life was fantastic, but I'm not sure we had to see it in anywhere near as much detail as we did. I try to justify them artistically in my mind, and I'm afraid I can't. My opinion on them: I actually do think they're a bit too graphic, gratuitous and almost pornographic. Now, the biggest story of this film has probably been the graphic sex scenes. Her role is less demanding, but she's still great in it. The film takes place over several years, and you really do see her grow from a child to an adult. Adele Exarchopoulos is simply fantastic - this is the performance of the year, really. It really helps that the actresses are so perfect. Frankly, I didn't feel the length of it at all - I wanted it to be longer. It feels more real than most films - it feels like more time has past and that we've just felt Adele's growth. It is just a very detailed picture of a life. For a while, I was thinking this was a good but fairly unremarkable entry into the queer cinema canon, but, over the film's three hours, well, you see why the long running time was necessary. This year's Palm d'Or winner is a coming of age story about a teenage girl, Adele (the literal title in French is The Life of Adele), who discovers her homosexuality and begins a relationship with Emma, a college student.
