(Flash Review)If you failed to assist a fellow human and come to learn they later died, how would you handle that emotionally? Well, this up and coming doctor chose not to help someone and after learning what happened to them is driven by regret to learn what happened. What facts and truths will she uncover? Will she be able to overcome her regret? What is an intriguing spark for a story is spoiled by being executed by what in my opinion lacks the spirit and inspiration of the medium of film. Riddled with bland cinematography and the film has about as much drama that can be contained within a child's toy tea cup. What some may describe as true real life portrayal (nothing wrong with that) just lacks any intrigue or any energy. There are dashes of momentary drama that partially refocuses the viewers interest but nothing that can hold it for the duration. This didn't work for me.

Greetings again from the darkness. A nice story set-up is always welcome, and this one delivers a creative attention-grabber that draws us in pretty quickly. Brothers and long-time filmmaking collaborators Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne (TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT, THE KID WITH A BIKE) edited the film a bit after its Cannes screening, and the result is a quiet little whodunit with an interesting lead actress performance.A doctor and her intern have a disagreement at closing time, and opt not to answer the clinic door when a young lady rings after hours. The doctor's guilty conscience leads her to become obsessed with finding out the name of the lady when she turns up murdered the next morning. It's passionate and amateur sleuthing at its most awkward, unconventional, and dangerous.Dr Jenny Davin has recently accepted a post at the prestigious Kennedy Hospital, replacing a retiring doctor. The tragedy causes a change of mind on the job so that she may focus on the case and on continuing patient care through her clinic. The filmmakers initially wanted Marion Cotillard for the role (what filmmaker wouldn't?), but Adele Haenel (LOVE AT FIRST FIGHT) brings her own approach, and though she doesn't come across as the warmest person, it's quite apparent that she is a dedicated doctor who cares very much for her patients. Even when she tells her intern Julien (Olivier Bonnaud) that "a good doctor must control his emotions", she is ever-stoic with her delivery.The story is missing the usual Dardenne brothers' twist, and instead, at its core is an ill-advised detective story and a case of morality, guilt, and the drive to do the right thing. The house calls and open communication with doctors will confound some U.S. viewers, but the various vignettes during Dr. Davin's gumshoe work keep us engaged. The sub-plot with Dr. Davin reigniting intern Julien's passion for medicine also maintains the minimalist approach and restrained performances … all with a very grounded approach with mostly hand-held cameras.

Maybe it would have been a good movie, but for my taste has a big mistake, it's too long telling us things at the beginning that we do not care. Once presented the protagonist character, it is not necessary to see more times the same thing. There are many characters that do not tell us anything. And this only makes us bored.Adèle Haenel is fine, slightly cold for my taste, but it is that the film is very cold, too. For what counts should be what, but the problem is when the coldness is no longer achieved by photography, it does, but it gives the Dardenne brothers a movie without heart.It has a photograph that, to be French and typical French, at times, even something, but there are other moments that photography is not good.The obsession to make every plane sequence, leads to there are times when you do not see the actors, you want to make the plane in sequence about what you want to tell us and that is bad. The sequence plane is a narrative tool more, not an end. The management focuses on telling the story, but in a bad way, it does not matter the plane, the staging, photography. If you have to make an ugly camera move you do it instead of putting the camera where you should put it.I have largely remembered Citizen Kane, since it is the search for a name, only in this one, Orson if he cared that all aspects would fit well.

Dr. Jenny Davin is a caring doctor. One evening She hears a knock on the surgery's front door after closing time and decides to ignore it. The next day, the body of the unknown visitor found on the banks of the Meuse and it's not from natural causes. With the help of security camera footage, Jenny decides to find out the identity of the unknown visitor. The story of the movie is very intimate and like Dardenne brothers previous movies, this film also focuses on a female character. Jenny's character was nicely handled by Haenel. They always place the female character in an unfamiliar situation. Like 'Two Days, One Night' this film also follows some door to door conversation. Overall, it's a one time watchable investigation drama and Haenel's caring character was one of the best things that happened in this film.
