Our take

Not since Arnold Antonin has a filmmaker brought Haitian cinema to the world stage like Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro). Claire Denis regular Alex Descas leads this heated, single-location drama examining the ruptured faultlines of class and national identity in the fallout of the 2010 earthquake.
