The CinePearl Take
Agathe Bonitzer delivers a masterclass in restrained emotion, embodying a mother whose love is both a shield and a source of grief. The dual direction of Maxime Matray and Alexia Walther keeps the pacing deliberately slow, allowing the audience to sit with the characters’ silences. Themes of generational affection and the ways we cling to memory are explored with a tenderness that avoids sentimentality, making the film a quiet but powerful meditation on family.
