Damien Bonnard (Les Miserables\u00a0\u2013 COLCOA 2019) and Le\u00efla Bekhti give tour-de-force performances in this tense, tender, often-heartbreaking portrait of a family torn apart by mental illness. Damien is an impassioned painter who happens to be bipolar. Leila spends her days worrying about him and trying to keep their little boy safe. Yet the film\u2019s intimacy and incandescent moments of joy and love \u2014 and an up-close-and-personal camera style \u2014 provide warmth and specificity, rendering three extraordinarily complex characters in vivid, merciless detail.\u00a0 The fact that the director\u2019s own father suffered from bi-polar disorder partially explains the extraordinary level of truth in this beautiful, moving, very powerful film.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
