My opinion on them: I actually do think they're a bit too graphic, gratuitous and almost pornographic. Now, the biggest story of this film has probably been the graphic sex scenes. Her role is less demanding, but she's still great in it. The film takes place over several years, and you really do see her grow from a child to an adult. Adele Exarchopoulos is simply fantastic - this is the performance of the year, really. It really helps that the actresses are so perfect. Frankly, I didn't feel the length of it at all - I wanted it to be longer. It feels more real than most films - it feels like more time has past and that we've just felt Adele's growth. It is just a very detailed picture of a life. For a while, I was thinking this was a good but fairly unremarkable entry into the queer cinema canon, but, over the film's three hours, well, you see why the long running time was necessary. This year's Palm d'Or winner is a coming of age story about a teenage girl, Adele (the literal title in French is The Life of Adele), who discovers her homosexuality and begins a relationship with Emma, a college student.
