Our take

Like his hotly anticipated Passages, this luminous drama from Ira Sachs dives into a web of interlocking relationships unsettled by the sudden tides of life. Led by the queen of angst Isabelle Huppert, Frankie muses on love and art, the small comforts that bring a levity to the weight of mortality.
