Coming to you straight from the international film festival circuit, the newcomer Xavier Legrand's unnerving thriller about  a broken marriage that leads to a bitter custody battle over an embattled son will leave audiences with their hearts in their throats.  Miriam (Lea Drucker) and Antoine Besson (Denis Minochet) have divorced, and Miriam is seeking sole custody of their son Julien (Thomas Gioria) to protect him from a father she claims is violent. Antoine pleads his case as a scorned dad and the appointed judge rules in favor of joint custody. A hostage to the escalating conflict between his parents, Julien is pushed to the edge to prevent the worst from happening. Winner of the Venice, San Sebastian, and Glasgow Film Festivals, among others. In French with English subtitles.  93 minutes.
