Saint Omer
DramaCrime
A novelist attends the trial of a woman accused of killing her 15-month-old daughter by abandoning her to the rising tide on a beach in northern France. But as the trial continues, her own family history, doubts, and fears about motherhood are steadily dislodged as the life story of the accused is gradually revealed.
VIBE
A stark, intellectual examination of maternal ambivalence and societal judgment. It's a deliberate, almost clinical dissection of a tragedy, leaving you with lingering questions about empathy and the weight of unspoken histories.
