Utterly captivating. Stunningly shot, subtly performed, and sensitively written. Masterfully and intricately composed in every moment. The tension is unbearable as an epitome of the expression, but eminently bearable in its soft and slow beauty. Profoundly and quietly emotional.

I walked out of it in Cannes, bored and irritated by its one-dimensional minnesong, but having finished it now, I see it as a completely respectable love affair, if juvenile and overly calculated. There's no dimension otherwise, just clean images on a clean canvas, with emotions long held back and then released. The ending is ridiculously overstated. As is the acting.

The romantic gaze realized through themes of painting and memory. At times too subdued to feel as intimate as it could be but the delicately-filmed highs are undeniable.

Opening credits appear on canvas. Then, the 1st scene is not the film we are watching. It only starts when Sciamma zooms into the painting called "Portrait of...". There, she narrates Heloise's portrait to us, which means that Sciamma/painter and the painting/movie become one and the same. That's why, after the painter leaves, only her "voice" narrates us the 2nd and 3rd times she sees Heloise. By then, she is only a voice bc the painting is gone. Also, note the reference to Abelard & Heloise.

"Remember." One of the most cinematic films I've seen in a while, every frame a painting (the gerund, not the noun). Creation and love as both impossibility and necessity, as verbs that create worlds... goddamnit, they should have sent a poet.

This is what female gaze looks like circa 2019. Celine Sciamma tells a love story between two women that doesn't objectify or exploit it's subject matter. Great filmmaker Sciamma makes her best movie yet with this astute film about women and the memory of the love lost.

i felt that this one started out a bit sluggish. slowly, but surely it grew on me. towards the end i was thoroughly captivated by sciamma's deliberately minimal direction. i'm pretty certain this story couldn't have been told without the history between sciamma and haenel, who, by the way, has a mesmerizing presence, an absolutely amazing actress. her subtle and somber demeanor is stunning, truly the perfect casting for this story.

Nice for a while but overstays its welcome. There's not much to this aside from its overflowing symbolism. Above and beyond the forbidden lezzie love premise, what little drama it has feels a bit artificial and forced. The dialogue is intelligent, but rather tame. Sciamma's symbolism is incessant and all-encompassing, though - the film speaks in similes. Try making a drinking game out of spotting them.
