TL;DR

At Cannes, Marie Kreutzer's Gentle Monster tracks a couple's outward stability crumbling after a Munich child-crimes unit accuses the husband of distributing online child-pornography, pushing Lucy into a spiraling fight to shield their family; Léa Seydoux delivers a gravity-filled, heartbreakingly restrained performance, but the film remains a bleak, meticulously observed end-of-family drama with little hope or resolution.
