Our take

A boldly anachronistic tale of incestuous love from actor-turned-director Valérie Donzelli, this fantastical fable was adapted from a script intended for François Truffaut. With a pair of terrific lead performances, Marguerite & Julien whimsically revises Romeo and Juliet’s star-crossed romance.
