I saw Marie Kreutzer's new film in Cannes and was left weirdly unmoved by it. I say "weirdly unmoved" because Gentle Monster is about some emotionally-charged matters: Lea Seydoux plays a wife and mother who discovers her loving husband traffics in child pornography. I got another chance to see the film for the Los Angeles Times, and I have to say: I remain at a remove. I explain why here.
