Our take

The ever-rising star that is Adèle Haenel (Portrait of a Lady on Fire) —gives another stand-out performance in The Unknown Girl. Both a sensitive melodrama and a morally daring neo-noir, this delicately caustic offering from the Dardenne brothers is yet another masterwork of hard-bitten realism.
