Niels Schneider ('Heartbeats') and Adele Exarchopoulos ('Blue Is the Warmest Color') headline French director Jessica Palud's debut feature.
Former Xavier Dolan muse Niels Schneider , who is returning to the family farm after a dozen or so years in Montreal, where he works in a restaurant. When he arrives, all the cows of his childhood are gone. In their place, he sees the cute Alex , his 6-year-old nephew whom he has never met before. Mona , Alex’s mom, also doesn’t immediately recognize the man with the curly blond hair, though he is the older brother of Mathieu, Alex’s late father and Mona’s late boyfriend.
Unfortunately, this pleasingly dense, novelistic approach becomes more diluted as the story progresses. Firstly, there’s the awkward handling of the revelations surrounding Mathieu’s death. Palud hasn’t made a thriller or mystery but even for a straightforward drama the handling of these narrative puzzle pieces is awkward and done with little subtlety.
While a lot of the complex Michel-Thomas relationship has long and semi-obscure ties to the past, Thomas’ connection with Mona takes place entirely in the present. If the point-of-view of — the original French title actually means “to come back” — stays close to Thomas, Exarchopoulos still manages to impose her character as a surprisingly relatable force of nature.
