Parece Amor

From the controlled, nuanced storytelling to the inventive camera work, Eliza Hittman's 'It Felt Like Love' is a quiet stunner, and a thoroughly confident first feature. It doesn't hurt that Hittman found an incredibly gifted and fearless performer in the young lead, Gina Piersanti.

The story unravels with a deep maturity and rawness, as we follow Lila (Piersanti) through the murky waters of sexuality and adolescence during a hot Brooklyn summer. 'Love' creates a fully realized portrait of a lost teenage girl discovering how wounding unrequited love can be. Seek this film out immediately!

This is a masterpiece reminded me of the great Federico Fellini, everything about it was masterful. The scenes were taken to the right ending whereas most go just a bit too far , but this is a work of art. The acting was superb as well as the writing which is far more critical to get. This work demonstrates like no other what many young people are faced with coming of age and the fear and unknown but also the compelling need to know . I look forward to more from this director writer She has a gift the world needs for its advancement if this movie is any indication

It's funny, I only rate the movie 6/10, but it's still these kind of small indie movies that I absolutely adore.

It was a really strong performance by Gina Piersanti as Lila. Her fatalistic sadness just really resonated with me, how it is to grow up with one parent, and trying to be accepted by your peers.

There were some cringe moments for me, but that's part of the beauty of filmmaking. I still wouldn't change anything, this movie is hella art.

There's a lot of talent here, Gina Piersanti may be a future star. Great editing, great camera work, solid directing, decent acting all around. Reminds me again of Lukas Moodyson and other European directors, there's some of that dogme style that's fairly unusual in American films. For a first feature this is promising.

But I'm not rating it higher because it's so monotonous and flat. Other films have told similar stories with humour and fun. I'm not sure if it was fully intentional or not, probably it was. one of those films that's better after you've seen it, if you can make it through - one of the longer "good" 1hr20 movies i've seen? Also slightly awkward to watch as a guy. I'm presuming it's somewhat autobiographical? Will be interested to see what the director does next.

Perhaps what you see, Gina Piersanti's performance was good and deserves praise, but there is something lacking in perfection and being within the category of good movies. Going through it during her life.

The scenario depicted this age stage as a passion that is always accompanied by lethargy and laziness. There was no passion, there was no life indicating joy, even if Gina's character in the movie was based on introversion and shyness, but she lacked the vitality that any human being has in this age group. .

The director portrayed the youthful stage as a period of old age and boredom with this new age stage. The film depicted the teenage stage as if it were a soul without a body always, and this needs you to say that it is wrong.
