This NC-17 emotionally charged love story is powerful. Every character was performed so naturally and convincingly that it is hard to tell whether Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux are acting or actually in love. There are some very explicit, raw, lesbian sex scenes. I'm unfamiliar with Abdellatif Kechiche's earlier work, but it is nice to see lesbian passion daringly explored in its rawest, purest form. The screenplay is awesome, I love Abdell's very modern style of writing. I will definitely be checking out his other creations. The entire film felt so alive, the laughter, the tears, the dancing; so much emotion, it was refreshing. An Alfred Hitchcock quote comes to mind, "The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder." While this is true in a cinema house as this film clocked in at 2 hours and 55 minutes (which seems to actually be becoming the new standard in cinema), all three hours deserved to be screened.
10/10. Best film I have watched in a while. Hands down.
