A gripping (fictional) reconstruction of the attacks that ravaged Paris in 2015 with Virginie Efira in a sublimely serene role. It has become a subdued film by Winocour, who has received a lot of praise for her approach. Not a sugary treatise of the events and the aftermath of the victims, but a sober portrait with a lot of attention for the psychological processing of the victims and surviving relatives.
There are still a lot of things that stay with me and that will make me look back on traumatic (group) experiences even more attentively and empathetically from now on. Fortunately, in recent decades, more attention has rightly been paid to PTSD.
It's a movie that goes back to those little things. The urge to see that stranger again, to know what has become of him or her, the thoughts and feelings that cannot be shared with third parties, the solidarity of the victims. Winocour manages to tell all kinds of small stories about how everyone has experienced and processed these difficult events. Good looking!

A prematurely cut short evening with her boyfriend [Grégoire Colin] turns into a tragedy for Russian-French interpreter Mia [Virginie Efira] when she is injured in a shooting at a diner. Months later, she has physically recovered from her wounds and returns to the scene of the disaster. There Sara [Maya Sansa] invites her to participate in evenings of conversation for survivors and relatives and she meets Thomas [Benoît Magimel]. Due to a blackout, Mia can't remember everything she did and what happened. Thomas is the first to help her reconstruct the evening. Efira is excellent and believable in the lead role in this well-acted psychological drama with an ending clearly inspired by Chaplin's City Lights. Unfortunately, the screenplay, like the main character, is too rudderless to keep you on the proverbial edge of your seat.

The film is quite rudderless and therefore sinks further and further away. The film starts off as a strong portrait of atmosphere (and fine images of Paris throughout the film) and could have been a great film when it comes to dealing with an attack (what does that do to a person? What does that do to relationships?) but in the end attention to less interesting aspects. First the questwhich feels too scripted and also when other victims speak. They're not bad, but they take the focus away. Although the film is otherwise well made with a strong acting Efira, the film managed to fascinate me less and less. Incidentally, that one woman was ultimately the one who had locked the toilet , the viewer can already see it coming halfway through. 3.0*.
