Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Kristen Stewart reunites with Clouds of Sils Maria writer/director Olivier Assayas for this smart, moody millennial ghost story. She plays Maureen, a young woman working as a clothes-buyer for a demanding supermodel (Nora von Waldstätten) and attempting to connect with the spirit of her recently deceased twin brother. As Maureen's otherworldly visitations become more frequent and vivid, her personal and professional lives dovetail in unexpected ways. Despite the film's languid pace, Stewart's remarkable, naturalistic performance and Yorick Le Saux's ethereal camerawork keep things gripping. The sheer control exerted by both Stewart and Assayas is most memorably shown off in a dramatic centrepiece that sees Maureen onboard the Eurostar, texting with a mysterious entity for some 20 minutes. Though such indulgences can prove frustrating - the film was both booed and applauded at the Cannes film festival, where Assayas ultimately shared the best director award - this remains a hypnotic, haunting and thoroughly modern portrait of grief and alienation.
