Film adaptation of Constance Debré's book about bisexual mother Clémence [Vicky Krieps], who, three years after an amicable divorce from Laurent [Antoine Reinartz], is unexpectedly confronted with a bitter custody battle over their then eight-year-old son [Viggo Farreira-Redier]. Over a period of years, we discover the consequences of that struggle and the inability of both the mother and official authorities (including the police) to ensure that Laurent adheres to the arrangement. Cambet tells the story entirely from Clémence's perspective. As a result, this has become a layered character study, but she also fails to reveal the extent to which Laurent is actually manipulating the situation.

A beautiful and sincere film about how a mother fights to be allowed to see her son, despite opposition from her ex and everything even remotely related to the rules. If there is even the slightest loophole, she will pull on it. However, she tells that story herself, and any form of reflection is conspicuously absent.

Directed to perfection, and acted to perfection by Vicky Krieps, who rises even above her normally divine performances. In doing so, she leaves absolutely no room for the other actresses, who serve merely as supporting actors.

I am left with a slight resentment regarding how dramatically the drama surrounding the mother who was bullied out of parental rights is being played out. For fathers, that is the most normal thing in the world, but when it happens to a mother, apparently all hell breaks loose. It makes me long for a utopian world in which parents have to surrender their child at birth to be raised by professionals who have the best interests at heart, not in name, but out of their professional capacity. How much misery that would prevent.
