Love Me Tender

Vicky Krieps is magnetic as a woman paying a high price to be free in this luminous and radical commentary on motherhood, desire and self-discovery.

Clémence (Krieps) gave up her legal career to become a writer around the same time that her marriage broke down. Her amicable meet-ups with her ex-husband suddenly stop being amicable when she tells him she is dating women and he soon begins proceedings to claim sole custody of their son, Paul. Refusing to compromise, Clémence must navigate the Kafkaesque nightmare of France’s family courts.

Anna Cazenave Cambet (Gold for Dogs) adapts Constance Debré’s bestselling autobiography, crafting a confident, complex and deeply affecting drama about the insidious violence of moral order towards women.
