Movie Haiku:Buried in this very long 3 hour film is the touching story of a teenager (Exarchopoulos) coming to terms with the fact that she is a lesbian after she meets a charismatic artist (Seydoux). But everything is so drawn out we were eager to flee midway. Infamous now for extended sex scenes which felt more mechanical than sensuous no matter how gorgeous the participants.
