Beautiful film, but absolutely a bit gratuitous at times. Emma and Adele don’t exactly have much chemistry outside of their sex scenes and I almost feel like the messaging of the film perverts lesbian love in a way that I’m not sure was intended. I just wanted there to be a bit more substance to their relationship. Also, the last hour pissed me tf off. These characters just make some stupid ass decisions for absolutely no reason.
I do think the length and slow pacing work well to support the theme of self-discovery.
