Okay, so I randomly picked "Caroline and Jackie" from my watchlist, not really knowing what to expect. The plot centers around these two sisters, Caroline and Jackie, dealing with some pretty heavy stuff during what's supposed to be a simple dinner party. Marguerite Moreau plays Caroline, and I gotta say, her performance is stellar. She perfectly captures the complexity of someone trying to navigate the tricky waters of familial love and concern. The film does an excellent job of showing rather than telling, letting the audience piece together the backstory and underlying tensions between characters. There were a couple of parts where I got a bit lost, might be due to some subtle plot points or maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention. But overall, the movie kept me engaged, and by the end, I was totally invested in the characters and their stories. It's not your typical feel-good movie, but it's definitely worth a watch for its character-driven narrative and strong performances.
