マリー・クロイツァー監督の新作ドラマ『Gentle Monster』が、カンヌ国際映画祭のコンペティション部門で上映された。主演のレア・セドゥが、夫が児童ポルノに関与していた秘密に直面する母親を演じている。
『Gentle Monster』は、レア・セドゥ演じる実験的ピアニストのルーシーと、ローレンス・ルップ演じるその夫フィリップを追った物語である。パニック障害に苦しむフィリップのため、二人は幼い息子を連れてより穏やかな生活を求め、バイエルン州の農家に移住する。しかし、ミュンヘン警察が家族の電子機器を押収し、息子を含む児童ポルノの所持・配布容疑でフィリップを逮捕したことで、彼らの計画は崩壊していく。
X（旧Twitter）上では、この陰鬱なドラマにおけるレア・セドゥの力強い演技が称賛されており、本作の扱った困難なテーマや心理的な深みが注目を集めている。一方で、センシティブな題材の扱いが不十分であり、期待したほどの衝撃を与えられなかったという批判も一部で見られる。
Léa Seydoux gives a masterful performance in the gripping drama Gentle Monster, about a celebrated pianist and mother of a young boy who learns a horrific truth about her husband. The screenplay can be a little unfocused at times, but the devastating Seydoux makes this a must see pic.twitter.com/Mi74ABfQCz

GENTLE MONSTER - Marie Kreutzer's acerbic follow up to CORSAGE is bleak and beautifully told, a collision of ambiguities and self-embraced lies that result in a moral quagmire. The cast is fantastic, the mood chilling yet not sour, it's both challenging and rewarding #cannes

I tend to gravitate toward the type of construction that GENTLE MONSTER offers with the inciting plot beats happening early on, and the runtime being dedicated to the psychological fallout. I do wish the different pieces came together better. Strong Lea Seydoux performance. pic.twitter.com/ISEa3gbpj4
