Netflix finally got around to putting "Blue is the Warmest Color" on their roster. Watched it.

Every time that chick cries, her nose runs down into her mouth, and she just leaves it there and keeps talking.... AAAAAAGGGGGHH.)

Hated the ending. Always hate those stupid "artsy" endings where someone just walks away without actually letting the audience experience any sort of conclusion or wrap-up or final thought. It makes me feel like they just got bored making the film so they called "CUT" and went out for an espresso. And you're left sitting there on your couch like a third wheel, a sore thumb. Bastards.
