'Portrait of a Lady on Fire''s Adèle Haenel stars in this Palme d'or-nominee from the Dardenne brothers.
Jenny Davin, a talented young doctor refuses to open the door of her practice to a mysterious late-night caller. The next day, the police inform her that an unidentified young woman has been found dead close by.
Playing intelligently with the traits of traditional detective dramas, 'The Unknown Girl' is another characteristically engaging social commentary from the two-time Palme d’Or winning Dardenne brothers - and a morally astute and compelling investigation of personal responsibility, justice and compassion.
★★★★ "The Dardenne brothers deliver a perceptive portrait of professional integrity under pressure" - Simon Kinnear, Total Film
★★★★★ "Another quietly powerful masterpiece" - Saskia Baron, The Arts Desk
