Daniela T @RT94217956 Jan 19, 2024 This is difficult to watch but ultimately very rewarding. A story that can only really be told as a film, which is sufficient reason to see it without the rest.

Told in a series of fragmented memories, the film creates a mosaic-like portrait of a doomed marriage, drawn from a collection of seemingly disparate images that only coalesce in the final moments. Like flipping through a photo album of polaroids, we catch glimpses of a happy home interspersed with occasional moments of genuine misery and rage. Throughout, Krieps brings a staggering level of emotional rawness to the role, breaking our hearts again and again as she tries to make sense of her unthinkable decision to leave behind everything she seemingly loves. There is a mystery underneath it all, which the film delicately reveals as it pulls back the layers of the onion to show us where it all went wrong for Krieps' mournful and defiant Clarisse. The rest of the cast is magnificent, especially the staggeringly handsome Arieh Worthalter as Clarisse's deeply confused husband who must somehow manage to go on. Brilliant and unmissable.

I had to ask someone else as I was leaving who had researched the film before going to the theatre what it was about as I was left guessing. See more Read all reviews
