Blue is the Warmest Color (2013) Ugh, what a weird mess. The visual style is subtle but distinct, playing with extreme closeups (particularly around messy eating) in a way that was moderately interesting. Some very good acting, and a script that was only occasionally cringeworthy. But the 180 minute runtime definitely wasn't justified, and far too much of that was taken up with gratuitous and deeply-male-gazey sex scenes. Mostly lesbian, with, of course, a male director. Just straight up porn, complete with the inability to go more than 20 seconds without the participants changing to a new (but equally impractical) position.
