Angel of mine french movie

By Frank Scheck.

A standout performance from Rapace as a mother looking for her dead daughter lifts a psychological thriller that otherwise strains credulity. Best-known for playing Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, Rapace radiates a sense of dangerous longing that washes over the film, covering it with an icky psychological residue. Unresolved grief appears to have changed everything about Lizzie, including how she speaks, looks and thinks. Rapace skilfully projects a thoroughly unsettling kind of desperation, difficult to read and define. What is this person capable of? Will she hurt herself, or others?

Angel of mine french movie

In a hospital Elsa Valentin gives birth to a daughter, but the baby reportedly dies in a fire. Seven years later she is divorcing her husband, and they fight over who gets custody over their year-old son Thomas. When Elsa collects her son from a party, she sees the 7-year-old girl Lola, who she thinks is her daughter, Lucie. First Elsa keeps this to herself, but she uses every opportunity to see Lola and keep into contact with her. Elsa begins by approaching Claire, the mother, by feigning interest in buying Claire's house, which is for sale, so that she can inspect the house and thus see Lola. She later encounters Claire and Lola when they go ice skating, where Elsa and Lola skate together and wind up falling. At Lola's ballet recital, Elsa stands on the side of the stage behind the curtains to watch her perform; Lola does not mind, as she feels as though Elsa supports her more than Claire does. Claire confronts Elsa with her stalking behavior. Elsa reveals to Claire that she believes Lola is her daughter, though Claire refutes it. She is caught by Claire and loses the hair. When Claire tells her husband, Bernard, about the incident, he suggests that they go through with the DNA test as it will prove to Elsa that Lola is not her daughter. Claire is forced to reveal the truth to Elsa and Bernard: seven years ago, her own daughter died in a fire from smoke inhalation. At the hospital, she heard another baby crying and saw Elsa lying on the floor.

Some time later Lizzie is seen with her family preparing for their first visit with Lola. All Rights Reserved.

By Frank Scheck. To truly be effective, Angel of Mine would either have to be far better or far worse than it actually is. Instead, it mainly comes across with a numbing predictability that extends even to its attemptedly shocking late-act plot revelation.
