Overview
- Set in Paris, the story follows psychiatrist Lilian Steiner, who suspects a patient’s death was murder and draws her ex-husband Gabriel into a personal investigation.
- The film opens in French cinemas this week, with Foster taking part in promotion in France.
- Critics highlight the leads’ chemistry and describe an intimate whodunit with darkly comic notes and Hitchcock–Woody Allen echoes, and Zlotowski says she used AI to craft dreamlike vision sequences.
- Reviews commend the performances but point to an engaging yet uneven structure, with the screenplay credited to Zlotowski and co-writer Anne Berest.
- Zlotowski emphasizes a small-scale French production, and Foster says she sought “a true French film,” with a supporting cast including Virginie Efira, Vincent Lacoste and Mathieu Amalric.
