“Undoubtedly worth a watch; who knew portraits were the Tinder of the 1700s.”

“Céline Sciamma, writer and director of “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” calls her period film a “manifesto on the male gaze.” This is the most accurate, elegant description of her story of a romance between two French women in the late 1700s.”
