Justine Triet’s Cannes-winning tale of a writer dealing with her husband’s death is, simply put, one of the best movies about good marriages gone bad ever made
starts out with an extraordinary act of passive-aggressiveness: A German writer, Sandra Voyter is sitting in her home in Grenoble, a part-cabin, part-winter-getaway mini-mansion tucked away at the snowy foot of the French Alps. She’s being interviewed by a female student about her work. Wine’s being consumed, questions lead to slightly flirty answers and queries about the young woman’s life. The vibe feels like it’s slowly drifting into intimate territory.

There’s most certainly a homicide at the center ofbut it doesn’t necessarily stop or start with that body on the ground. This is a movie about the killing of a matrimonial union curdled by bitterness and unsaid broken promises.
