The CinePearl Take
Dominik Moll’s direction keeps the narrative tight, letting the bleak winter landscape mirror the case’s growing hopelessness. Mouna Soualem shines as Claire, delivering a nuanced performance that balances determination with vulnerability. The film’s strength lies in its critique of institutional sexism, turning a conventional whodunit into a commentary on power dynamics within law enforcement.
