It Felt Like Love

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!

"It Felt Like Love" can only be described as the film embodiment of female teenage sexuality. In her debut as both a director and screenwriter Eliza Hit-man has been able to accurately capture the awkward moments in time in which girls become women, and how these events shape us. The film's often unsentimental setting reflects it's overall tone of disenchantment. Lila (Gina Piersanti) naturalistic acting reminds us of our own struggles in painful stage of growth. The film redefines the concept of coming of age in literature and film by dissecting the romantic concepts often found in Bildungsroman type stories. "It Felt Like Love" shows the gritty and devastating consequences of discovering one's sexuality, and in a way that many veteran director, writers, and actors have not been able to before.

A heart-breaking coming of age story of a teenage girl. You see around through her lenses and can't help but remember what a daily struggle to become an individual in a wide world full of coyotes and predators.

The director wants us to see Laia's yearning; yearning to be seen, to be heard and to be felt and mostly yearning to feel things she never felt before. A sense of lingering is all around.

Like the Sting says "I just wanna feel real love, feel the home that I live in, 'cause I got too much love running through my veins, going to waste." Laia just wanna feel too in a not-so-suitable environment.

If you wanna walk into some teenagers' world today, here's your pick!

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.

I am here becuase of her new installment and had to back-track and I fell in love! I really love how much fun she makes the characters and the stories and teh fun and all the stuff that happens and the dialogue is so much fun and I love how she can do so much with very little latitude in horology.
