Overview
- The story follows Lilian Steiner, an American therapist in Paris who probes a client’s death presented as a suicide, with the film withholding any clear answer.
- A fraught visit to the family’s shiva and accusations about prescription dosing push Lilian to investigate on her own after her concerns find little traction.
- Hypnosis scenes introduce wartime visions that cloud motives, while a sudden bout of constant tearing brings her back into orbit with her eye‑doctor ex‑husband.
- Critics note Rebecca Zlotowski’s mix of character study, offbeat marital comedy, thriller beats, and hints of the supernatural to keep the tone unsettled.
- Reviews highlight Foster’s cool, lightly comic performance opposite Daniel Auteuil, with Virginie Efira and Mathieu Amalric in key roles, and emphasize the film’s choice to leave the case unresolved.
