Our take

In this heartwarming period drama directed by Cannes alumni Rodrigo García, Glenn Close shines in her dual roles as actress and screenwriter. Earning her first Oscar® nomination in over two decades, Close’s performance reminded the world why she still is one the the very best of her generation.
