Ismael's Ghost (15)

Drama

French drama in which a filmmaker's life is disrupted when his wife unexpectedly returns after a twenty year absence.


The critical consensus

Apparent prestige gives way to self-indulgence in a confusing and unconvincing French drama.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 28/05/2018

This director's cut might smack of self-indulgence, but it also says much about love and loss and the language of an artform that flirts with realism while remaining an illusion.

***(*)(*)David Parkinson, Empire Online, 01/06/2018

To nobody’s surprise, Desplechin keeps a lot of plates spinning effortlessly.
