IT FELT LIKE LOVE
May 2 thru May 8
Directed by: Eliza Hittman
Drama, NR, USA, 82 min
Apathetic 14-year-old Lila (Gina Piersanti) grows envious of her best friend's luck with boys over the course of one particularly uneventful summer in Brooklyn, NY, and begins to insinuate herself into the life of Sammy, a local boy who seems indifferent to her advances. Gradually convincing herself she and Sammy are in a relationship, Lila is confronted by the harsh glare of reality when her delusional stories start to crumble, revealing her true inexperience for all to see.
An evocatively shot, rawly unsentimental coming-of-ager from debut director Eliza Hittman, It Felt Like Love follows a vulnerable teen who envies the sexual experience of her confident older friend and determines to have a relationship of her own. The writer-director's stress on the small, degrading details that attend yearning as well as her protagonist's desperation and self-deception make it more mood piece than straightforward narrative, but the ultra-confident production proves that Hittman's a talent to watch.
