Seydoux Shines Amid Cannes' Troubled Family Portrait in Gentle Monster
TL;DR Summary
Gentle Monster follows Lucy, a pianist in Bavaria, whose peaceful life with her husband and child is shattered when police uncover his online child-pornography. While Léa Seydoux delivers a committed, nuanced performance and Marie Kreutzer frames the story with precision, the Cannes drama is hampered by a cluttered, multi-plot narrative and a final act that lands anti-climactically, aided by its multilingual dialogue.
