The Call

About This Movie

So, 'The Call' (2015) is an interesting piece. It weaves drama and fantasy with a thriller edge that pulls you in. The main character, Benoît, really captures that deep, unsettling grief—he's a police lieutenant whose life spirals after his wife's mysterious disappearance. You feel his anguish, his decline, both physically and mentally, as the pacing keeps you on edge. There's a unique atmosphere, almost dreamlike at times, especially when Lise reappears. The performances feel raw, and there's a certain practical realism that contrasts with the film's more surreal elements. It’s not flashy but it definitely lingers with its themes of loss and the haunting nature of unresolved emotions.
