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.
Das Sexabitur
Disguised as her daughter, Anna's mother slips into French lessons to supplement little daughter's notes. She strikes her best in class, but she also shows what she is capable of in the group in the afternoon. As the headmaster uncovers the mother-daughter delusion, it becomes all the more praiseworthy.

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.
