Unknown Girl, The

Crime, Drama, Thriller

A doctor attempts to uncover the identity of a patient who died after she refused her treatment.

A new edit of the Belgian auteurs’ oddball detective story can’t help its fundamentally baffling tone and form.

Has its moments, but this time the magic doesn’t quite happen.

A rare misfire.

The Unknown Girl may be a middling effort by the Dardennes’ high standards but it’s still an involving, thoughtful watch.

Less is not more for the Dardenne brothers’ recut thriller about a doctor who becomes obsessed with the identity of a dead girl.

General release. Check local listings for show times.
