A Bluebird in My Heart

A Bluebird in My Heart (2018) is Jérémie Guez's tight European thriller, available to watch online on iFILM. Just released from prison, ex-convict Danny wants nothing but quiet.

He rents a room in a roadside motel run by a woman and her teenage daughter, Clara. For a while the calm holds. Then Clara is savagely attacked, and a man who swore off violence feels the old rage wake up again. Roland Møller carries almost the whole thing wordlessly, working with one tired face, while Veerle Baetens, Lola Le Lann and Lubna Azabal fill out the small cast. It's a lean, brutal chamber piece about how hard it is to stay changed once the past comes knocking. Stream A Bluebird in My Heart (2018) online on iFILM.
