Simplisticly beautiful. Every scene in the film could be painted as a masterpiece, the lighting, the framing, the cinematography... This film has left me slightly obsessed! It's one of those movies that stole a part of me. My new favourite movie by a long shot. There's so much to love about Portrait of a lady on fire. What I love about this especially is the film is shot and acted from the female gaze. So there's so many beautiful subtle moments. Eye contact, gazing, small touches, smiles. Love

Exquisite and poetic meditation on love, longing and freedom. Sits deeply inside a woman's world. The weaving through of the mythic strand from Orpheus & Eurydice is both poignant and sublime. A rare gem. Breathtaking moments of wonder, artistry and loss.

A film of restrained passion, subtle, controlled but constantly seething with rebellion. Beautiful throughout and desperately engaging. A meditation on seeing - as lovers, as artists, as audience. I'd give it *28* stars 😉
