Lucy's marriage to Philip, father of their young son, appears happy and stable until he becomes the subject of a police investigation into possession of child sexual-abuse material. As Lucy is forced to confront the possibility that the man she loves is someone entirely different from who she believed, the officer leading the investigation balances the demands of the case with a challenging personal life of his own, caring for an ailing father whose behaviour crosses its own boundaries. Director Marie Kreutzer, the award-winning filmmaker behind Corsage, raises disquieting questions about deception, complicity and trust between the people we love most.
Review:
A morally complex, boldly directed drama anchored by a career-best Léa Seydoux performance, raising genuinely disquieting questions about trust and complicity without offering easy answers.
