Céline Sciamma’s period romance about a female
artist who arrives on a desolate island to secretly
paint the portrait of a headstrong woman—so that
a prospective fiancée can see what she looks like—

love gets in the way. As Heloise, the woman being
painted, the great Adèle Haenel is mysterious, mel-
ancholy, and ultimately rapturous. bilge ebiri
