Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster), an American-born psychiatrist living and working in France, suspects foul play when her patient Paula (Virginie Efira) dies suddenly. But as Lilian begins her own investigation, with help from her adoring ex-husband (Daniel Auteuil), she finds herself also discovering her own internal mysteries. Director Rebecca Zlotowski (OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN, AN EASY GIRL) works from a script co-written by Anne Berest and Gaëlle Macé to artfully weave suspense, psychological drama and surprising flashes of romantic comedy to hugely entertaining effect. Foster’s performance, entirely in French (save for a few memorable English expletives), is a mesmerizing tour de force. The supporting performances from Efira, Auteuil, Mathieu Amalric and Luàna Bajrami (who play Paula’s husband and daughter) match Foster’s intensity and creativity. Legendary documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman steals the show with a one-scene appearance.
