Olivier Assayas directs Charles Berling, Jérémie Renier and Juliette Binoche in this French drama where three well-to-do siblings must deal with their mother’s idyllic estate, filled with art, after she passes.

On paper, not my bag. Rich people with rich people’s problems. Yet it explores its prescient themes with an accessible rigour. Art, legacy, globalisation, fractured families. Value. What has value? This is probably Assayas’ straightest project and yet I really engaged with it. Appreciated its ambitions and pure hearted craft. Could have used a little more Binoche but…. C’est la vie.
