Kurdt’s review published on Letterboxd:
So quiet you can hear the waves eroding the rocks by the beach while Lila's daunting deep eyes stare into the camera. Laconic, It Felt Like Love doesn't need many words since it has such beautiful imagery, ethereal cinematography and dazzling colour. There's a disturbing chill that hangs over the film all the way until the silent credits. I still haven't made a sound since then, the only noise in the room coming from the keyboard. Lila's lost eyes, the empty spaces, the waves that come from an unknown abyss, it all creates a haunting examination of female sexuality still developing in a surreal world. Seemingly completely adrift from the rest of the world, Lila just wants to fit in. She wants to discover her body and break through the ennui surrounding her cramped life. Unfortunately no matter what hidden corner of the world you're hiding in it's still an unforgiving, virulent place, and Lila will discover how girls are looked at sexually and what darkness jumps forth from people when they crave solely for pleasure. I feel like I never want to raise my voice above a whisper ever again. And I can still see those poor, broken eyes staring back at me. Never the same again.
