»Adele's life is an epic story, independent of the viewer's sexual orientation, that encompasses all the complexity of human love relationships, including longing, pain, mistakes, anger, frustration, regret, the desperate search for a second chance, and how sometimes you simply settle for something less intense, but also less (self-)destructive and painful. /…/ Today, we cannot imagine film without the sensual and so very natural Exarchopoulos, who, despite her tender teenage years /…/ managed to create a complex, multifaceted and painfully convincing character /…/ Her performance, raw, natural, instinctive, is brilliant.«
