Overview
- Rebecca Zlotowski’s film opens January 16 and stars Foster alongside Daniel Auteuil, Virginie Efira, and Mathieu Amalric.
- Foster says she told Zlotowski she wasn’t sure how funny she is, noting much of the humor lands at her character’s expense.
- Lilian, an American psychiatrist in Paris, records sessions, follows Freudian analysis, and crosses ethical boundaries as suspicions mount.
- The plot centers on a patient’s reported suicide that prompts Lilian’s amateur investigation, with help from her ophthalmologist ex-husband.
- An early A.V. Club review praises Foster’s poised performance and describes the mystery as a catalyst for a character-driven story that blends tones.
