Why do females under 18 hate this movie?


An overall rating of 3.2 for females under 18 for this movie is a profound gap for this demographic against an otherwise favorable rating for all other groups. I'm not sure I've seen such a huge difference of opinion for any other film.

Does anyone care to speculate as to why young girls seen to dislike this film so much?

"They" because all females under 18 are exactly the same, ignoring their background and individuality.

So using something as unreliable as an imdb demographic, we condem a whole gender and age group.
Nice.

It's hard to accept, but some people don't like certain things because of their personal taste, no matter if they have good or bad taste, not because they are female/male/young/old.

I am female, not under 18 and have better understanding of movies than any guy I have met, does not mean I am better than men or better than people under 18 or that women my age group are superior, I just am really into film.

You should be aware of the Law of Small Numbers. The conclusions you make, being based on 22 votes by females under 18 – or by people who allege that they are – are hasty at best and inaccurate at worst.

The experience of losing someone from your family makes a lot of difference. Young people may not have had so many experiences as an older person, what dos not mean that a young person is less intelligent that an older one.

Young women, to put it simply, are young and dumb. And there is no Justin Bieber in this movie.

Yes, an awful thread, after watching such a fine movie. While speculation is very much okay, we can't draw real conclusions to any direction like it's been done under this thread.

When this movie screened first back in '93, I was a young art student, and pretty much every young woman I knew at the time loved Trois Couleurs, especially Bleu and recommended I should go watch it. Even though I intended to go, I probably was turned off by too much hype and thought it would be this ultimate girls movie, you know, like Chocolat. Took me 20 years to actually see it, but happy I did it.

Rating given here is weighted average rating, which means result is affected also by other factors than just given votes.

With just 26 ratings the sample is very small, so only thing we can really observe from these demographics is:
- most females under 18 don't rate movies in IMDb
- most females under 18 who rate movies in IMDb haven't seen this film

This movie is already 20 years old, so we can safely make an assumption that there probably is a number of female voters, who saw this movie when they were under 18, but gave their rating at later age.

If we look at the numbers: Of 26 voters only 3 gave 1, while 6 gave it a 10. If ratings 5 and 6 are considered average, then 19 of 26 voters gave better than average rating. Only 4 voters rated it worse than average.

Median is 8, which is very much the same with the greatest sex separated group with over 10k of user ratings, males aged 30-44. My group, but I'll give it a 9.

I do wish girls would rate more, so their true opinion would not be blurred by trolling and diminished by dumb conclusions.

Hey! Being female has nothing to do with it. Gender in general has nothing to do with it. There are lot's of people who don't like certain movies and others who do. There are lot's of teenage boys who don't like Three Colors: Blue as well. Every human being is different, and allowed to like or not like any film they want. There are lot's of teen girls who actually do like this film. Gender (and age for that matter) doesn't matter at all. Any human can like the same as others and others who don't.
