The Invisible Chains of Guilt and Innocence Marie Kreutzer's latest film, Gentle Monster, masterfully explores the complexities that arise when accusations of heinous crimes are levied against someone we love or trust.
By focusing on the experiences of Philip's wife, Lucy, played by Léa Seydoux, Kreutzer humanizes the victims of abuse and their families, forcing us to confront the messy reality that often blurs the lines between guilt and innocence.
Gentle Monster is a deeply unsettling film because it refuses to simplify complex issues.
