Pluskylang Great Film overall

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

milena-trajcevska10 I'd like to say that the movie was okay in general,but there were some things that annoyed me so much. First,i don't get it why there were so many close ups of everyone's faces,example they eat and they chew with their mouth open and all the food is shown which was disgusting. Another thing is that the sex scene is overrated,I honestly don't think that it makes the movie better or anything,unlike the other comments and reviews that I read. There were so many holes in this movie that i don't know where to start.We don't know anything about how they ended up living together or whether at some point Adele's parents find out about her being a lesbian.I read that you can learn from this movie a lot about relationships,whether you are straight or homo or bi,which is totally not true.Nothing is really happening between them other the fact that Emma becomes very busy and avoids Adele,who then cheats on Emma and they break up..typical stuff that has been seen in a lot of movies.It lasts 3 hours and nothing happens particularly that makes the movie interesting.

cinemajesty Film Review: "La vie d'Adèle" (2013)Tending to go intensively as overly-pricy into his screen-time eating "mis-en-scènes", director Abdellatif Kechiche, with North-African Tunisian roots, as immigrant living in Paris, France, finding his personal language of communicating with leading actress Adéle Exarchopoulus, at age 18, to present moments of a young adult's single-life in thorughout documentary-raving as seemingly nonstop-handheld digital camera operations by Sofian el Fani, mainly focusing on the performers' transcendence of emotion despite improving on the technical aspect of film-making by neglecting decisive cinematic motions, in color and further improvements of a detailed shot design.Nevertheless the moody as tight close-up coverage of ultimate-prepared as hardwire-conviction-speaking and never-seen-before intercoursing lesbian couple of audience's endless discovery with the character of Adéle and show-stealing in-and-out the picture of professionally-acting Léa Seydoux, when director Kechiche cannot let go of his subject matter in a festival-audience prolonging 180 minutes editorial, which by no means could have been easly a 100 minutes of an instant-classic young-adult-drama for the ages, when "Blue Is The Warmest Color" after nearly five-years favored from its jury president Steven Spielberg striking notions on higher education, ensuring a blade-running win with a jury members at a retrospectively simply-political decision on another "Palme d'Or" missing a cinematically-further accomplished motion picture "La Grande Bellezza" directed by Paolo Sorrentino.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

rdoyle29 This is an amazingly intimate film, and I'm not referring (well, not only referring) to the very explicit sex scenes. This film is 3 hours long, and easily 85% of it is close-ups of the characters's faces. Everything that happens in the film is reflected in their faces, particularly in the face Adèle Exarchopoulos, who could not have been better. It's an extremely intimate look at the birth and death of her relationship with Léa Seydoux, and it's one of the most affecting films I have ever seen.

johnrgreen Surely if this film was trying to be ground breaking, having 2 not so beautiful leads would have been revolutionary.All one thinks is ,that it's the director's fetishes on show.I admit my jaw hit the proverbial when they moved off the spaghetti and got chomping on each other.You've got to love the French though ,straight in there no messing with the sex scenes,the like of which,i would guess,are seen only in porn.So why is this art and not a porno.? because of course this is adapted from a book and they are suffering with their identities ,growing up,being political,smoking their petites derrieres off...yeh,right!We've come a very long way from the Hayes code.
