Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Tlhg — 24 Dec 2015

This is a movie that makes me wonder: "Why did anyone put money, time, and effort to make this movie?" Movies that make me think like this are not necessarily bad movies in terms of acting, directing etc, the way the through line unfolds etc.

.. Movies that make me think like this are movies that are simply unnecessary. There's nothing happening in Blue is the Warmest Color. No twist, nothing extraordinary happens, the characters live in an ordinary context, there's nothing unique about the images or the music.

So why should you take a few hours of the day to watch a movie that shows life exactly as it is? This movie is almost like a reality show about that friendly lesbian couple that you know from somewhere.
