A near perfect movie. Sure you're watching this cause you heard it was an amazing romance movie, but the tension and build up to it is the best I've seen. There is no way to not sound pretentious about this, but this movie does so much with the empty space between lines. The silence, the longer than usual shots, the looks of the leads to one another. Just an all around beautiful movie

Loved is not only what is observed but within the eyes of who observes. Sciamma reinvented my love for cinema, by turning its most precious tool - the close-up - into a bridge between subject and audience. A Portrait is a rich text, full of codes and secrets, with political and historical views that I fully endorse, but most of all, this movie is a love letter to the rush of watching something you love with care. While this act becomes love itself.

Some pacing problems, a little slow in the beginning, but shows great chemistry and intensity in the affair between the main characters. Beautiful interpretation of a classic Greek myth.

The metaphor of love as 'burning' seems glib, and maybe it always is, but it works pretty effectively in its key moments throughout this film. Very assured and delicately precise acting and pacing strengthen the feeling of their passion -- it's a highly effective romance film, though there's little it offers once it's finished.

A film of restrained longing which threatens to boil over into all-consuming passion, except for the acute awareness of each woman that there is no path down which lies a happy ending for them. All they can do is embrace each second and cling to it for eternity. Builds to a devastating and perfect crescendo at its very final moment.

Beautifully shot, beautifully paced. Love is carefully remembered and repainted with intimate fragments that nurture it’s memory. It invites you to repaint these emotions from the eye of the creator.

Ooh mixed feelings. On one hand I love the absence of incidental music for a period piece, placing us in a time where music was rare and exclusively live. Yet (spoilers!) I can't help feeling it's a cheap trick to make the movie 95% quiet so it can blow my ass up with the whole summer movement of The Four Seasons at the end. It works because it puts me in the characters shoes, but so does a jump scare. Was it the movie being great or just Vivaldi? That's my hangup. It has other merits!

This is a beautiful film that luxuriates in the small, textural details of life, paying close and exquisite attention to faces. On the one hand it's a love story, and one that pays minute attention to small details and fleeting moments. It's also a vivid portrait of a particular way of living. I love this film.

Glad to see a film about painting that shows ACTUAL painting. Of course art itself is just one element of a truly beautiful, poignant, elegant love story. Striking how this is also about women fighting, each one, different kinds of oppression -- the maids wants to abort, the lady doesn't want to get married, the painter can't officialy sign or paint "man" stuff, aka, historical, political events. The gesturing, the gazing, the touching. Sometimes all we've got are fond, blurry, eternal memories.

Wonderfully restrained, except for the ending, which I thought too melodramatic. Would have preferred that it end with the "look back" on the staircase...though I wonder how necessary the mythology was.

I didn't mind the leisurely pacing one bit, but the film's greatest strength is how pretty it looks. It's a decent story, but I wasn't particularly touched by the love story nor as impressed by the ending as many seem to be.

The movie is admittedly a slow burn, but that's also what makes the movie so good. The relationship between the two leads in the first half is built on a lie, and the portrait suffers for it. The second half opens up this dynamic-- the painting of the portrait becomes a collaborative process and a romance forms. It's a complicated work on feminist aesthetics that I couldn't stop thinking about. It makes you intimately feel what it's saying.

This film has antiquated costumes, employs theatrical acting and stays in the same indoor location for most of its runtime. All of these are things I loathe in films - and yet I really enjoyed this one. I guess that must mean it's pretty good?
