Real gay women offer their insights into the sex scenes that earned the Palme d'Or winner an NC-17 rating.
French coming-of-age film Blue Is the Warmest Color has been at the center of controversy since premiering at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Despite critical praise for the three-hour exploration of teenage sexuality and relationships, several lengthy lesbian sex scenes featuring stars Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux provoked a fury of warring quotes between director Abdellatif Kechiche and the two actresses.

:-P
If I wanted silky smooth and clean shaven, I’d get me a girlfriend.
;D

The one on the left is not Phi.
The one on the right? Not even with yours.
Alice the snake, of course. :-P
I dunno, that looks an awful lot like it is all about the money.
That looks like quite the “Gang” there, James!
The Walking Dead is not believable because the zombies are not real democrats. Sort of like my evenings.
Yeah, back in the ‘60s and ‘70s that’s about what a gang looked like in CO.
;-D
It’s a pro-pedophilia film. One of the characters is a minor. This is why NYC theaters say they are letting children in to see an X rated movie.
Next time put a little realism in the film by portraying two crop haired, obese, gross looking, sweaty, behemoths in the "love scene" and see how much they complain...
