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.
