A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Wounded while on a clandestine operation in Niger, French secret agent Mata loses track of her colleague Antoine, captured on the spot. Upon her return, she volunteers for a counter-espionage mission in the Alps, with the intuition that this new assignment might somehow be connected to her traumatic mission in Africa. Haunted by Antoine’s captivity and convinced that her managers are hiding information from her, Mata embarks on a race against time, outside any official framework... at the risk of losing everything.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
