The performances are honest and connected, and the story pushes forward with compulsion and movement -- helped by the gorgeous, jazzy score and outrageously good cinematography. In small moments, this film reveals a ton without saying all that much. The silence and the physicality of the actors connect us to their struggles and joy, and we care deeply about their evolution (or regression, however you see it). Please watch and share with those you love -- not one to miss.… Expand

Hill's narrative is artfully written; they guide us through the relationship's dynamics with a nuanced dance of perspectives, sowing empathy and resentment in kind as the throuple's history is revealed. The acting is excellent (there's a particular confrontation scene between two characters later in the film that HITS). The score is vibrant, with an exceptionally tasteful/immersive use of diegetic music. The visual language is expressive, warm and languid, while still authentically communicating loss, loneliness, abandonment, etc. 10/10 worth the watch.… Expand

Beautifully filmed in the south of France amidst vineyards; charming market towns; old stone farmhouses and breathtaking scenery, you will want to jump into the set and follow along with the characters as they navigate the twists and turns of a broken polyamorous relationship. The jazzy soundtrack adds another level of enjoyment to the experience. Keep a bottle of wine and the corkscrew handy. Well worth the price of admission!… Expand

Filmed in Anduze in the South of France, the scenes were lush, and the stone house's interior set an intimate venue to work through abandonment, betrayal and yearning. While gender identity plays its part, love and connection are universal, and I'd watch Ma Belle again and again. Another reviewer felt it moved too slowly, but I appreciated the unfolding of the relationships. I savored the feint and parry as a former lover suddenly reappears after a two year absence, and tries to reestablish her presence. The anger, the regret, the pull to reconnect was excellent. The landscape of the South of France was a main character and its magic was compelling. Rich, complex, well done!… Expand

I had seen some of the great reviews popping up here and there. Bored at home one afternoon, I saw the Apple trailer and decided to settle in for cozy watch from my couch. My husband watched it with me and loved it. We paused the movie many times so we could discuss the storyline - we were so wrapped up in it! I lived in France and studied French literature for many years. This felt like a beautiful journey back to all the wonderful and challenging aspects of living abroad. There were so many beautiful layers of culture and understanding laid out in this film. National identity, gender identity, sexual identity, professional identity... nuances of love, responsibility, loyalty, creativity, citizenship... it all overlaps in a thoughtful way. I absolutely found myself caught up in the journey of these characters - loving them, hating them, and then loving them again. I am not surprised at all that it received fan favorite at Sundance. Absolutely recommend!… Expand

Ma Belle, My Beauty is a beautiful film portraying a nuanced and layered love story. The film centers the relationship between Bertie and Lane, two women who have loved and hurt each other, as they navigate their past and present. Unlike many films these days, this movie isn't trying to make a point or spell out a foregone conclusion, rather it's an authentic and real depiction of navigating identity, communication, and connection.

Set in a beautiful location in the South of France, the film is a sensory delight that transports you to a strong sense of place through the attention and care it gives to sights, smells, sounds - a deep and genuine love note to the Cevennes region in France.… Expand
