As a filmmaker, Mia Hansen-Løve just keeps getting better and better and Things to Come marks her out as one of the most talented and exciting directors working today.
Almost as annoyingly pretentious as it sounds, but it’s also saved somewhat by Huppert’s prickly performance.
Another stunner, though not quite up there with all her other stunners.
The heady brew of bloodshed, sex trafficking and vengeance is served up with the heaviest of hands while the comic elements fall flat and the dialogue leaves you bewildered.
Huppert’s warm, wry performance as an academic facing a crisis at home powers Mia Hansen-Løve’s intimate, intellectual film.
