Normally I post these little reviews a few hours or minutes after I've seen a film, but Portrait de la jeune fille en feu absolutely blew me away, and I was lost for words, and really am still unsure if I can find the proper words for this thing here. Anyway, all I can say is that I cannot find a flaw with this movie and that I was always hooked, mesmerized, and at times completely shocked by how genius and effortlessly powerful it is. The performances are beautiful, their chemistry is through the roof, and the dialogue just so wonderfully written. Then of course it's all directed masterfully and has equally brilliant cinematography. Really, all of it is just brilliant and my respect for the film will only grow with rewatches. Also, let me tell you, the way it ends is one of the most powerful and creative imaginable. Stunning.
