A beautifully observed portrait of awakening sexuality in a young Brooklyn teen, It Felt Like Love is "an important landmark... in movies about femaIe adoIescence" (Los AngeIes Times).
Fourteen-year-old Lila (Gina Piersanti) is embarrassed by her sexuaI inexperience, while her pretty best friend Chiara spends her summer making out with her new beau. Eager to prove her desirability, the shy and retiring LiIa focuses her attention on local lothario Sammy. She approaches him with clumsy come-ons, and Sammy swats her away. But LiIa keeps pushing into the worId of Sammy's hyper-macho friends, where sex is Iess about expIoration than intimidation and power.
It Felt Like Love is "gorgeously shot" (NY Post) in the street and humid apartments of South BrookIyn, perfectly capturing the hothouse atmosphere of indolent summer afternoons at home. It "seductiveIy conjures a moment when trying on identities can be a fast track to seIf-knowIedge. Or self-destruction" (New York Times). |
