Alain E @AlainE Aug 11, 2026 I disagree with the opinion that this is a minor work. And although the story involves establishing the circumstances that led to the death of the unknown girl, this is a psychological drama and not a "policier". The characters are drawn very well and they ring true. One thing we are never told is why the young female doctor has so limited a personal life. No romantic or family relationships play a significant role. Eventually she moves into her medical office where she cooks and sleeps after hours. Her only indulgence is the occasional cigarette. On Tubi. See more

Jean-Marc S @RT52265510 May 26, 2026 Il s'agit ici d'une oeuvre cinématographique de précision. Tout est d'une vraisemblance étonnante et d'un réalisme touchant. La sensibilité des personnages est au coeur de ce drame. Le tout présenté sans extravagances comme les frères Dardennes sont capables de le faire avec éloquence et grand talent. See more

isla s @RT89656869 Sep 2, 2022 This is a mystery film, a crime mystery as seen through the eyes of a local French doctor. We learn about various people in said doctors community and as pieces of said unknown girls story start to come together, we get an insight into her life, her situations. Its a somewhat gritty story and I certainly felt I could understand the main character, the doctor Jenny Davin, in feeling concern for this girls identity to be found, for her family to be made aware of whats happened, given she was very close nearby shortly before her death. I liked the plot pace, not too overly fast and hard to keep track of and yet not painstakingly slow to the point of utter boredom. I found myself wondering what potential secrets other locals may be keeping from her and I thought it was interesting, given she wasn't a police officer, seeing how people reacted to her questions, her curiosity to try and see what she could discover about the identity of the initially seemingly anonymous person. It is a somewhat sobering and thought provoking watch at times but I thought it was quite well made and I'd say its a good film, a good example of world cinema (its in French). See more

Aug 13, 2021 Very subdued performances. I would have liked more dialogue, or at least more facial expression, as the story supported a bit more from the actors than was given. See more

Jun 27, 2020 Dit verhaal had een spannende detective-thriller kunnen worden of een comediedrama, maar nu is het 3x niks. See more

Alexandra H @RT99463632 Oct 22, 2019 This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It captures what it means to be loving. At first, I didn't notice anything special as I watched. But then, I entered a higher realm, the realm of this movie in which the doctor is loving and compassionate. This movie gives a new view of life. I wish I could give it 1000 stars. See more
