Things come but no change


Things to Come (2016)

Written & directed by Mia Hansen-Love this film stars Isabelle Huppert, Andre Marcon and Roman Kolinka. A middle-aged philosophy professor in France finds her life turned upside down.

This is kind of what you imagine as a slightly art house French film more interested in high ideas than the central character actually changing or having agency. No doubt this film captures something of life but I ended up frustrated by the way the protagonist just floats through events. Not a bad watch but a film that failed to connect with me.

3/5
