      Andrea Thompson Chicago Reader Things kick off simply, if not innocently, in Céline Sciamma’s masterful period film. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Drew Gregory Autostraddle Once in a while there is a work of art so specific, so complex, so new in its oldness and old in its newness, that it moves the craft, our craft, to another level of seeing. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly There's almost no single moment in Portrait of a Lady on Fire that couldn't be captured, mounted, and hung on a wall as high art. Rated: A- Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Ryan McQuade InSession Film Add two tantalizing performances from Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, and you have yourself one of the most romantic, beautiful films of the decade... Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Metacultura (AR) The film links several interesting themes: the role of women artists at that time, lesbianism, abortion, social canons and their hypocrisy. There are at least two aspects of the women painters that are well and correspond to historical facts. Rated: 9/10 Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 Watching the two women grow closer together is almost intoxicating, even with the devastating knowledge that they’ll never truly be able to have what they want.

      Saul F Slow moving - boring Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/15/20 Full Review Peter B A gorgeous period piece, this film lacks nothing in direction, acting, and camera work. I was charmed by the characters, the stern landscapes, and the lighting in this movie. It’s a must-see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/20 Full Review Aurolyn Too long. Could have cut 30. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/20 Full Review Tristan An absolutely amazing story of women. We need more incredible queer film like this. An emotional rollercoaster of love, joy, and the lack there of. Just brilliant! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/20 Full Review Emilio A beautifully shot film. Terrific acting from the 2 main characters. Slow at certain points, but overall a fine film Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/20 Full Review Robert F Beautiful, touching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/20 Full Review Read all reviews
