The Forest
The Forest is both a vibrantly spontaneous and brutally funny family drama, and a glorious tribute to acting and theater - in other words, an Arnaud Desplechin film. With Michel Vuillermoz and Denis Podalydès as the nephew and his friend, Adeline D’Hermy as the niece, and Martine Chevallier in a stunning performance as the sublimely selfish aunt Raissa.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Desplechin constructs the film as an intimate theatrical piece, where the family living room becomes a stage. He explores the very nature of performance, relying on it as a lens through which his characters justify their selfishness and navigate deep-seated familial tensions.
What lingers after the curtain falls is the stunning performance by Martine Chevallier, whose Raissa is both a comical tyrant and a tragic figure. The film is a brilliant, often brutally funny dissection of the roles we play both on and off the stage. — MovieFinder Editorial
