Reviews
It's a period drama of burning intensity that brilliantly captures the collaboration of creator and muse through its gaze. Sciamma delivers a bittersweet, subversive, and honest depiction of lesbian love of the highest caliber.Sara Clements, Thrillist
[It is] that rare movie in which every choice feels thought through, meaningful, and right, from the costumes by Dorothée Guiraud to the cinematography by Claire Mathon.Dana Stevens, Slate
An unabashed masterpiece, something that feels like it's already survived decades of adoration to be heralded as one of the great art films.Tim Brayton, Alternate Ending
