Blue Is the Warmest Colour

CriticsCritics: 89
AudienceAudience: 7.5

A reserved student’s life changes after meeting an artistic young woman with blue hair. Their intense relationship leads her through desire, self-discovery, joy, insecurity, and heartbreak as she grows from adolescence toward adulthood while navigating family expectations and social pressures.

My take

You’ll like this if you value emotionally raw coming-of-age dramas, natural performances, and patient storytelling; Not for you if you dislike very long films, explicit sex, or slow, intimate relationship stories.
