Garance Review
Cannes Film Festival: Performer is as good as ever but her actor character is thinly conceived in a fundamentally implausible depiction of how to grapple with alcoholism.
TL;DR
- Adèle Exarchopoulos delivers strong performances as an actor with a drinking problem.
- The film is criticized for its glib, unsatisfying, and naive portrayal of alcoholism.
- The protagonist, Garance, is shown to overcome her addiction unrealistically.
- The film's handling of Garance's recovery is deemed superficial and implausible.
- Exarchopoulos previously made Cannes history with the 2013 film 'Blue Is the Warmest Colour'.
