Romance. Drama At 15, Adele (Adèle Exarchopoulos) doesn't question it: a girl goes out with boys. But she has doubts about her sexuality. Her life is turned upside down the night she meets Emma (Léa Seydoux), a young woman with blue hair, who will allow her to discover desire, to assert herself as a woman and as an adult. In front of others, Adele grows, seeks herself, loses herself, finds herself...

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"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."	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A sprawling, emotionally absorbing tale of young love from Franco-Tunisian auteur Abdellatif Kechiche."	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"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"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"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."	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"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)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Blue Is the Warmest Color' sweeps you up on waves of humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
