Madeleine Collins

Directed by Antoine Barraud1h 42m2021

Judith leads a double life between Switzerland and France. On the one hand Abdel, with whom she is raising a little girl, on the other Melvil with whom she has two older boys. Little by little, this fragile balance, made up of lies, secrets and back and forth, cracks dangerously. Trapped, Judith chooses to head forward, at the risk of losing everything.

Our read: Madeleine Collins (2021) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded drama · thriller entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
