That's it precisely in my opinion.
I love Adèle.
She's very talented, she's beautiful, she's very much in demand, and it's so easy to find good things written about her.
On the other hand I have a feeling that Pauline can be more difficult to work with and that her career is less prominent as a result.
Nothing definite, just an impression after emails with people like Christophe Botti (Un Coeur Sauvage) and even Bernard Tanguy (Parenthèse)
This woman is intriguing, a challenge.

I've only-half-jokingly, myself, toyed with the idea that she's chosen a William Gibson-type, anti-advertising/'negative-PR' approach to her career; a Garbo-esque thing, even. Bob Dylan has never used a PR company, apparently...
I still haven't seen most of PAB's tiny output, but in both Lilies and Au 7eme Jour, age 15-17, she is already a mighty force; so powerfully magnetic in every shot - you can hardly take your eyes off her. You can't buy or fake that, it's soul stuff. Both of those DP's visibly knew exactly what they had the luck to work with, and so did Edgar H, I think.
Perhaps early acclaim has spoiled her, puffed her up; I have no idea [although Owen's description of meeting her gives no hint of that] or perhaps it's just made her determined to go to theatre school, learn the craft, qualify herself in acting as a profession, pay her theatre dues, and find a way to work in her chosen medium, rather than be devoured by it.
I think that's what anyone who cared for her would counsel; rather than, borne on the wings of fame, raw egotism and wild talent, to follow so many other early successes into the meat grinder of Hollywood [or Celebrity in general, come to that] and to an early grave.
PAB also doesn't even attempt to censor the many less-than-flattering images of her, I suspect it's rather a relief from having to be beautiful all the time.
