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.

...French filmmaker Céline Sciamma gives the Gothic romance a feminist workout.

...is its own, wondrous, magnificent thing; a complete artistic vision where every directorial step is refined and each thematic probe, seamlessly weaved in.

...a superbly elegant, enigmatic drama(...) that compels a shiver of aesthetic pleasure and fear.

This is a film about the female gaze, powered by the women behind the camera and the ones in front of it.
