The film \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' called \\\"The Life of Adele\\\" (the French translation, anyway), not \\\"The Love of Adele\\\'s Life.\\\" She\\\'s lost Emma, but Emma wasn\\\'t exactly perfect for Adele. She was Adele\\\'s FirstLove, true, but she was also emotionally distant and frigid, and tried to push Adele away from her passion because she deems it as below her. Though Adele was absolutely in love with her, separating from that kind of influence isn\\\'t a DownerEnding -- Adele \\\'\\\'had\\\'\\\' to move on, she was miserable \\\'\\\'with\\\'\\\' Emma even though she didn\\\'t want to live without her.

imho the HopeSpot (isn\\\'t HopeSpot a negative trope anyway?) is that Adele has come to terms with her attraction towards women and can grow up to be her own person without Emma, for better or for worse. She\\\'s depressed over her loss, but she\\\'s young and she\\\'ll move on. In fact I think it\\\'s more insulting to say that Adele can only be alone and miserable without Emma and will never move on. As for Samir, I know they had a spark between them and it\\\'s possible they might meet up someday even though he just missed her as she was leaving. Even if they don\\\'t, we\\\'re still stuck with that last image of Adele, on her own but still living her own life, her coming-of-age story coming to a close.

Maybe this is more of a perspective, YMMV thing? It certainly feels like a DownerEnding when you watch a 3-hour love story about two people who don\\\'t end up together in the end, no matter the circumstances, but that\\\'s realism, I guess.
