Our take
Navigating a corporate world reminiscent of Toni Erdmann, director Marie Kreutzer enters unsettling territory in this riveting look at business culture, mental illness and gender expectations. A surgically precise psychodrama anchored by a chilling tension between the personal and the professional.
