9/10
Up close, cinematic orgasm
13 January 2015
WOW! What an amazing performance by this cast... You can really see that their hart and soul went into this, I cannot remember a performance this good by such a young cast.

What I loved most about this film is how it literally and figuratively zoomed in on the life of Adele. I loved the close up shots done at the strangest times of the day, it made her so realistic.

The plot was amazingly well done, though I did not like one time jump they did. I expected a coming out to her parents but that was nowhere to be found. Quite a few social topics where touched so not adding a coming out really was a plot hole for me. The time jumps itself where a bit unexpected at first but added to the plot.

There where quite a few sex scenes and normally they don't add a lot to the plot but in this film I think it was one of the key points to show the passion that Adele and Emma had for each other.

I hardly noticed the score (I'm actually not sure if it was there at all) but most dance scenes where really well done.

So much detail went into the ending of the film which I thought was a great touch.

I think I was 16 the last time I fell in love with an actress on-screen, but the stellar performance and amazing beauty of Adèle Exarchopoulos was just to much to handle! Not to mention that there where no make-up artists or stylists on set and most of the scenes where shot without makeup.

This film was 3 hours long but it only felt like 30 minutes had passed after it was done, the only rating I can give it is a 9/10.
