Our take

Pulsating with unbridled energy and uncompromising realism, this refreshingly unglamorous portrait of a young woman is carried by Laetitia Dosch’s astounding performance. Léonor Sérraile’s exhilarating debut felt like an eruption when it premiered in Cannes: two exciting female voices had emerged.
