When Fall Is Coming
Estranged from her hostile daughter (Ludivine Sagnier), a countryside-dwelling retiree (Hélène Vincent) looks forward to a visit from her grandson (Garlan Erlos)—but when things don’t go as planned during his stay, a long-simmering mother-daughter conflict erupts.
Retiree Michelle (Hélène Vincent) lives in the countryside, peacefully enjoying her ample free time with lifelong friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko). Despite being estranged from her hostile daughter Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier), Michelle looks forward to a visit from her grandson Lucas (Garlan Erlos)—but when things don’t go as planned during his stay, a long-simmering mother-daughter conflict erupts. Applying his characteristically destabilizing artistry to the shapeshifting contours of this deceptively low-key drama, Rendez-Vous regular François Ozon (Everything Went Fine, Rendez-Vous 2022; Summer of ’85, Rendez-Vous 2021) devotes loving attention to the complex experiences of an elderly woman whose past keeps rearing its head in unforeseeable ways. Boasting impeccable turns from a strong ensemble cast, the film’s many pleasures include Ozon’s reunion with his Swimming Pool leading lady Sagnier for their first collaboration in more than two decades.
