15 Most Exciting Movies Coming In February 2020

2. Portrait Of A Lady On Fire - February 28

Céline Sciamma's Portrait of a Lady on Fire is also a critical darling straight from the Cannes Film Festival, coming to the UK after months of consistent festival praise and success in the United States.

The acclaimed lesbian period romance has been the subject of controversy due to its acclaim, with the prevalence of its fans so large that when it wasn't chosen to be France's submission for Foreign Language Film, there was a minor backlash against the Oscars process of selection.

To have a film so good that people are angry about it not making the foreign language submissions list is something special, and Portrait more than lives up to the hype. While its slow intimate pace might not be for every viewer, anyone willing to get lost in the beautiful cinematography by Claire Mathon, the unbelievable chemistry between lead actresses Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel and the melancholy of a queer romance set during this time period will be justly rewarded. It is truly worth the time and effort.
