Portrait of a Lady on Fire, 2019 - ★★★★★

Some of the best movies I've seen earned four or four and a half stars because I wanted to reserve the five-star rating for the perfect movie. You know, the one that will change how I think of movies, something with a unique and amazing story I haven't heard before - a true masterpiece.I was content with this choice ever since I started reviewing movies on Letterboxd, until I watched this movie last night.When I woke up, this movie was the first thing I thought about. It's not that I can't get it out of my head - I don't want it to get out of my head. I don't want to start my work week, yet another Monday, after watching it. I want to explain why, but I can't. I guess going to make a few futile, miserable attempts. Where the hell do I even start? Maybe I shouldn't.Maybe I should just tell you to watch it and decide for yourself. It will click for some of you. For others, it will be just a pretty romance flick, and others yet still will just shrug and move on.But I hope some of you…
