Our take
Underscoring the value of a chosen family, Claudia Sainte-Luce’s absorbing debut follows the growing bond between a lonely young woman and a rambunctious single-parent household. Shot by Agnès Godard, Claire Denis’s frequent collaborator, this gentle drama basks in the warmth of unlikely encounters.
