Director Dina Amer’s incisive and unsettling debut explores how a young French-Moroccan woman ended up becoming radicalized.

François Ozon’s film feels like a lighter version of its source material, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, less Jean Genet and more Noël Coward.

A fizzy, feel-good comedy that believes in the goodness of the human heart, even if the brain attached is a little flighty.

A moody movie for fans of Claire Denis’s more recent work, character studies with dense emotions to unpack.

Few movies can be as topical right now as Happening. It plunges us back to the rotten old days when there were almost zero options out of an unwanted pregnancy.

Part of the movie’s punch can be chalked up to the sheer audacity of its titular character: a monster of self-absorption, flighty, rude, and prone to oversharing and interrupting.

Director Jacques Audiard goes lighter this time around with a study of reckless and sometimes feckless youth.

A charming French film that has its feet in working-class solidarity and its head in the stars.

A piercing portrayal of the numbness that grieving perpetuates.
