Je tu il elle illustrates why the enthusiastic fandom and hushed reverence it receives it feels earned. Go to Full Review
Scott Nye Battleship Pretension 01/24/2024
After returning to Europe and making Le 15/8, Akerman had a greater sense of herself and what she wanted to accomplish with film, which is on full display in Je tu il elle. Go to Full Review
Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 06/20/2022
A deeply personal evocation of queer humanity, grappling with both painful and banal experiences that strip it of its exoticism and examines the life of a queer woman with a keen emotional acuity. Go to Full Review
Dan Callahan House Next Door 02/23/2011
Akerman must have had enormous confidence in herself to be so bold both aesthetically and sexually so early in her career. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE Sep 27 Maybe at some point this movie was considered important and symbolic. I have a Medical Degree and after watching the first twenty minutes my conclusion is that this girl needs psychiatric help. Individuals with similar behavior often commit suicide. We see a young girl by herself in a small room. She gradually takes all the furniture except the mattress outside. Then takes off her clothes. She writes a couple very long letters that she pins on the floor. She eats granulated sugar with a spoon. If you have ever seen the inside of a psychiatric hospital this is a recognizable behavior; before treatment. See more Kevin L Feb 15 Nothing for me here, really. Seemed like a film student project. Painfully slow in its pacing. Is this, what you call...da boredom? AKA 'ennui'? The first 20+ min. is just the main character moving her furniture around until she's laying on a mattress of the floor. Only dialogue really is this long bit of a guy driving and truck and talking about his kid and the women he has casual sex with. The final scene may well have the least convincing semblance of sex I've ever seen? Nothing erotic about it. Was that the point? Seriously, I've seen porn more convincing. Was this some comment on the French sub-bourgeosie? You know how they love to go on about the bourgeosie in their art. 2 stars I suppose. See more Frans G 05/19/2024 Artist (Chantal Akerman) explores her needs and state of being. That goes through other persons. Remarkably slow film with awkward moments and an extraordinary lovemaking. With patience and attention, there is plenty to enjoy. A unique document. See more PridePosterStudios 09/20/2023 Unforgivably long scenes. You can pretend that eating sugar out of a bag is killing the game…but it’s not! See more Mikey H 07/29/2023 I feel so connected when I watch an Akerman film, it's like all words I can use to describe this feeling would just undersell it. She's simply just the greatest. See more s r @ScottR 11/03/2020 Artsy, but it does have some poignancy to show the loneliness of finding oneself. Saw it on TCM. See more Read all reviews
