Blue is the Warmest Colour is too exceptional a film to be defined by its controversy.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Fresh

An astounding, complex film about the ecstasy, the danger and the beauty of love.

Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh

One of the year's best films.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh

A love story so erotically charged that it short circuits our higher functions.

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Forget the controversy and see Blue is the Warmest Color for what it truly is: a warm and compassionate ode to the vagaries of the heart.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
