Directed by Joachim Lafosse.
This film
centers on a young woman, she falls in love, she marries, and she suddenly sees
herself with four babies and huge, acute depression. This is the story of a
mother who kills her young children.
Is it horrifying?
No, just really hard. This film is hard to watch, hard to understand, or
better, hard to accept human beings. This is a film that will hunt you for
days. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I kept rewinding it in my mind. It goes
without saying that depression is a real problem, it’s a desease and it needs
to be taken in such a way. And the problem that goes along with it, not that it
is really represented in the film, is the stigma, the prejudice of going to a
therapist, or a psychologist or just really go to the doctor. It’s the “crazy”
people. It is so embedded in the people, in society that it is absolutely
revolting.
Émilie
Dequenne is absolutely heartbreaking, she’s steadily touching. I loved her
commitment, her perseverance and bravery. I love this actress so much.
