The winner of the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, this suspenseful child custody drama is French director and former child actor Xavier Legrand‘s feature debut.
It’s actually a continuation of his Oscar-nominated 2013 short film Just Before Losing Everything, though you don’t need to have seen that to understand what’s going on. Legrand plunges us into the story of Miriam (Léa Drucker) and Antoine (Denis Ménochet) as the latter denies the former’s claims of domestic abuse, manipulating the couple’s 12-year-old son Julien (Thomas Gioria) in the hope of securing joint custody. The judge’s decision proves to have far-reaching consequences.
