Consent

2023 · 119 min

A sobering, quietly devastating watch that immerses you in a young girl's manipulation and the complacency that enabled it.

Directed by
Vanessa Filho
Genres
History, Drama
Starring
Kim Higelin, Jean-Paul Rouve, Laetitia Casta
Overview
In 2013, Vanessa Springora recounts how she found herself under the influence of a famous writer. In 1986, she was 13; him, almost 50. The victim of a triple predation: sexual, literary, and psychic, there's more beyond her individual story. She questions the excesses of an era, and the complacency of an environment blinded by talent and celebrity.
