A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Beth Webb

This gut-churning and inventive body horror earned director Julia Ducournau (Raw) the coveted Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival, where she became the first female director to win the prize outright. The film follows Alexia (Agathe Rousselle), a violent young woman with an attraction to cars, who compulsively murders without warning. After discovering she is pregnant, she goes on a killing spree. But when she is seen, she decides to change her identity, posing as the missing son of a grieving father (Vincent Lindon), who welcomes her with open arms. While the premise may seem far-fetched, it's weighted by the film's unflinching mood, as Ducournau mashes trauma and tragedy with grotesque yet gorgeously shot gore. The film's pace is relentless, and Ducournau balances the grim violence with robust character studies. At times, the tone can be overpowering, but that's no reason to miss this unique and thrilling venture into dark territory.
