In Detail

Jodie Foster stars (in a French-language role!) as Lilian Steiner, who becomes concerned when a patient has missed a third straight session. After speaking to the deceased’s husband (Mathieu Amalric) and daughter (Luàna Bajrami), the events take a turn for the suspicious.

Foster is joined by an A-list cast including Daniel Auteuil and Virginie Efira, whilst the director plays with the duality of tones: between deliberate comedy and deep dives into a personality full of grey areas.

This is immensely entertaining, blending murder mystery, romantic comedy and character study tropes into an appealingly light-hearted ride. It is also anchored by the wonderful Jodie Foster who is at her charismatic best.

‘A new landmark in Foster’s career which just continues to dazzle’. Deadline.
