• Cast: Catherine Frot, Sandrine Bonnaire, Wladimir Yordanoff

This impressively executed French film begins as an engrossing character study and concludes as a riveting domestic thriller. Eliciting a pair of finely modulated performances from his talented leading ladies, Nebbou establishes two compelling mother figures who are both fiercely protective of their children, both real or imagined, which lays the groundwork for the thrills to come in the climax.
