Saint Omer Reviews

OK-ish, like slowwwww with a remarkable closing argument. Captivating though

Saint Omer is an evocative experience that matter-of-factly displays the unknowability of the human soul, mother-daughter bonding & the intense isolation one of immigrant origins goes through.

do not want drama

Quietly haunting and emotional.

7/10

My biggest gripe with this film was its disregard for the concept to “show, not tell”. A huge chunk of this film consisted of courtroom dialogue, and while I’m aware this was an intentional choice, it still felt like it dragged way too long. Otherwise the cinematography was great

Beautiful film on black female silence and postpartum.

7,5/10
