For the first time, she experienced the pounding of a deer. And when Adele walks into a gay bar uneasy, she finds Emma waiting for her there.

    It's not surprising that the actors complained that the director wanted to press the camera to his face almost every second, and the filming method was obviously meant to squeeze people dry. If you simply shoot sex and desire, this form of crazy overdraft intimacy is very powerful and appropriate, but when it comes to discussing love and life... there is really no merit at all.

    The film presents all the details of ordinary life, such as eating, sex, conversation, class, crying, sleeping, etc., in a complete and natural way, forming a feast of naturalistic love stories. The close-up of almost all the shots on the actors not only enhances the naturalness, but also extends the emotion beyond the screen to the audience. The heroine with a serious role plays perfectly the dazed and timid young middle class facing unknown feelings and the upper world.
