Blue Is the Warmest Colour (2013)

Completely Pointless

[6/10 · 26 August 2014]

This movie would have been a classic if it was more consistent on how two characters, regardless of their gender, had a profound and spiritual emotional connection.

I honestly thought that the movie, being a French production, would be about two girls with that kind of bond, something refreshing and not titillating for the yuri lovers, mostly male audiences.

Boy, was I wrong.

The script of the protagonist, Adele, is pointless from beginning to the end, why show us all that relationship with Emma if it turns out that she's actually bisexual and a sex addict? Because Emma knew damn well that this was Adele's true nature. So much for a over-hyped relationship that they made a movie out of it, in pure close ups and titillating pornography made by men, for the men.

The movie has no purpose at all.

This film is a complete overrated waste of three hours, disguised as 'artsy'.

Triple Crossed (2013)

A waste of chemistry

[3/10 · 1 December 2013]

The leads had great chemistry, but the dialogue and the script overall could have been better and would have made the romantic scenes much more powerful and meaningful.

The characterization of the women is terrible.

If anything, this film is proof that a good gay story needs a solid plot and dialogue to work its magic.

For example, Latter Days didn't have the best plot ever, but its script is actually extremely clever and full of heart, and combined with good chemistry and acting it was incredible.

Overall a 3 of 10 for the good chemistry scenes between the leads.
