The film has raised a lot of controversy since its release, but it all comes down to one’s perspective While some critics might see it as a man’s perversion in filming two naked women, the ones who understand. The director knew what she was doing keeping genitals out of the sex scene It was a brilliant way to portray physical intimacy between women and, at the same time, state with intention that the pleasure in the scene is not for men For what it's worth, the sexual tension scenes in that movie were genuinely hot as hell. French erotic epic <i>blue is the warmest colour</i> makes most of hollywood's catfights look pale by comparison.
So when films like blue is the warmest color come along that incorporate graphic sex scenes into masterful cinematic filmmaking (performance, shot composition, lighting, etc.), the cinematic filmmaking becomes devalued by the pornography on display. Julie maroh, author of the graphic novel turned cannes festival winner blue is the warmest colour, blasted the film's sex scenes on her blog Critics are singing a different tune.
