Portrait of a Lady on Fire

realstibby shared a tip "Day 6: I've been up for over 24 hours and I'm crashing a bit so I'm gonna be a little lazy and suggest a movie that most everyone already knows is good. If you haven't seen this yet and you're interested in gay art I highly suggest checking it out. It's outstanding that this was seemingly not nominated for anything come Oscar season but w/e. The Oscars are wild some times."

tessarose shared a tip "I just finished this movie and I am emotionally blown away. For starters, the cinematography was gorgeous. The storytelling was incredible, and the actresses were so talented that they didn’t need to speak much for you to understand what was going on in their heads. I haven’t seen another movie quite like it, and it’s definitely one I would rewatch again and again. I know this review is all over the place but I am so amazed by this movie that I can’t even think straight (literally). Anyway, I highly recommend it and I’d give it 5/5 stars!!! Check it out on Hulu if you get a chance ☻︎ #lgbt #moviereview #movierecommendation"

natetheworld shared a tip "Starring Noemie Merlant as Marianne and Adele Haenel as Heloise, “A Portrait of a Lady on Fire” is more complicated than its plotline infers. On the surface, it is about another portrait painter attempting to capture the likeness of a subject who refuses to play along. This film is about much more than painting for money and a difficult subject. By exploring these characters at a deeper level, we begin to unravel the real issue. This journey is both a revelatory and heartbreaking experience; a cinematic feat I will not soon forget."

nascent_ancient shared a tip "Loved the pacing of the film. The non-verbal communication. The energy between the two women... the quiet unfolding and the relatability. Beautiful. Want to see more from these actresses."

vanhellmouth shared a tip "Beautiful and mystifying story with a sedentary setting that had me interested the entire time. The characters develop in a gorgeous way and the ending is bittersweet but satisfying"

alexandra_lacasse shared a tip "This movie was on my watchlist for a while and I just finished it. It was so pure and I love it from beginning to end. It is this type of movie where you are so moved by it that you juste have to take a moment before continuing you day. I had the same reaction at the end of call me by your name."

gheysum shared a tip "Slow burn, very ASMR, and very artsy. Sad ending :/ but overall, I really really love this movie. I can almost forgive the ending."

Sapphire2319 shared a tip "I love this movie! Very thought provoking with a lot of symbolism and feminine themes. It's also very well-made with phenomenal cinematography, acting, and costume design (I haven't seen costumes this historically accurate since Emma (2020)). And if you're a fan of the artist/muse relationship, this is definitely the film for you!"

d_goode shared a tip "Amazing story of two women that fall for one another. It’s not a fast-paced movie, but one that held my attention with the artwork, beautiful women, and accuracy of which they portray two people connecting."

courtney_nol shared a tip "This is legitimately one of the best films I've seen in my life. I've watched it at least 4 times and I always enjoy catching something I missed previously. Definitely worth a watch. Celine Sciamma is a masterful creator. Every detail from the crackling sounds of the fire to the footsteps are thoughtful. And the acting is brilliant."

blondishfox shared a tip "One of my favorite movies of all time. The reality of lesbianism in a time where it was closeted, taboo, and unrealistic to explore. It has such a unique feeling and encapsulates lesbian yearning very well.#lgbt #lesbian #historical_fiction #art"

zach_koenig shared a tip "Honestly no, this was really a lighting in a bottle type of movie for me. One of the most impactful movies I've seen in a theater in a while. My friends made fun of me for it later, but that bonfire scene was a really special euphoric experience for me."
