After Bergman Island (NZIFF 2021), French auteur Mia Hansen-Løve returns to Parisian home-turf and semi-autobiographical mode in this nuanced, bittersweet tale of Sandra (a luminous Léa Seydoux), a widowed single mother and translator, whose life revolves around nurturing her young daughter and caring for her ailing father – until a chance encounter with an old friend reintroduces love, albeit under complicated circumstances, into her existence. – Sandra Reid
