Day 3. En Ville (2011)

2011 was a big year in Adèle's career—she had made the commitment to acting as her career, a big decision, and three films she was were at the Cannes Film Festival, which is a mighty achievement. This indicates that she was being selected by top film makers to play in their films. The roles in these three films of 2011 were not lead roles, but she was getting noticed by the major players in the field.

Excerpts from reviews

Adéle had a fairly small role in this film, so she is generally not mentioned in reviews of the film.

“Alternating insouciance and sensuality, Iris in Bloom draws attention to two new young talents of French cinema. Créton (Bluebeard, Mia Hansen-Løve’s upcoming Goodbye First Love) plays Iris, a shy brunette. Her best friend is played by Adèle Haenel (Water Lilies, House of Tolerance), a vibrant blonde and bombshell beauty.”
