Review of Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) by Karen Gordon for Original-Cin — 12 Feb 2020
This isn’t a film that suddenly bursts out at you. Sciamma, like her characters, works by restraining everything. She doesn’t rush the story or focus on a building sense of hunger or passion. The title notwithstanding, the movie is a slow burn, not a fire.
