A 50-year-old woman creates a fake social media profile to spy on her ex, and ends up developing an intense online relationship with his 20-something roommate. Her web of deception and identity play gradually and inevitably escalates out of control. Safy Nebbou's takes a Catfish-like premise and turns it into a terrifically tense, twisty, and erotic psychological drama with Hitchcockian vibes. Juliette Binoche gives a stunning multi-layered performance as a literature professor whose own actions blur the line between reality and fiction.
