Sibyl: Justine Triet’s film tells the story of a psychotherapist who decides to write a book and uses one of her patients as inspiration. The following narrative mixes memories, projections, the book she is writing, and a film she gets involved with, creating an intricate flow that slowly reveals plenty about its characters. None of the characters is particularly sympathetic, as they are generally manipulative and self-centered, but they are, nevertheless, very interesting. It helps that the acting is so good: Virginie Efira plays the protagonist, a clearly troubled woman willing to skirt ethical reasons for her own gain; Adèle Exarchopoulos, as one of her remaining patients, is also someone on the edge; they both have some very emotional (and effective) scenes. Sandra Hüller has a smaller role as a film director (also with her own ghosts) and is quite good in her more limited role. Editor Laurent Sénéchal edits so that the film’s reality is questioned at every turn. The film makes very good use of music.
