_"Not everything is fleeting."_

Indescribably beautiful in every way. Sciamma knows exactly when to linger and exactly when to let go. This is a film that is in complete control. It doesn’t just depict the longing, the love, the heartbreak; it gives the audience permission to experience these feelings with the film. It allows us into these moments in such delicate and masterful ways, that we are swept up into the romance along with Marianne and Héloïse.

Its interesting how many shots in this movie could exist in the latest artsy horror film released by A24. But in the context of this film, they don’t horrify the audience; they haunt us. They haunt us both despite and because of their beauty. They haunt us in the same way as Orpheus’ last goodbye to Eurydice.

_"Turn around."_

Just beautiful.
I've rarely seen two characters really **see** each other as in this movie. Observing each other's details and inner life as well as slowly opening themselves up like flowers to disclose more of those.
Amazingly shown by the director, moreover: with hands, eyes and silences (wonderful scenes by the fireplace).

Pretty much the definition of the term instant classic.

_"Don't regret. Remember."_

I delayed watching this movie for so long after accidentally reading that tagline; knew the emotions were going to hit hard.

[spoiler]I wish Héloïse saw Marianne in that final scene. Makes me think about what might've happened next. When Marianne said "She didn't see me.", that really broke me _(well, I was already broken...)_. [/spoiler]

This is one I'll definitely watch a second time.

I’ve never felt so many emotions at the same time in such great quantity. I don’t think I can explain the raw emotion of that last scene with just words. It’s just one of those things where once you experience it, you feel like you’ve reached the depths of the human spirit.

Masterpiece.

I'll never forgive this film for being so goddamn beautiful. Watched Citizen Kane last night. Shit look like ass now.

Exquisite. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. The photography is stunning. The performances are tender. The script is mesmerizing. Everything is perfect.

It's a perfect film. No other words needed.

10/10

I loved the sweet, yet painful, romance between Marianne & Héloïse. Whenever I watch films that has lesbians in it, I fear that we may be hypersexualized, that our sex scenes are “overkill” (as it was in Blue is the Warmest Color). The male gaze is thankfully absent in “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”. No shot was unnecessary; ==every second felt meaningful==– so much so, that I feel like I could watch this another time and find even more subtleties to swoon over.
