EditJusqu'à la garde (2017)

This French drama movie won the Silver Lion at the 74 Venice Festival. The director Xavier Legrand was deservedly honored with the Best Director award. The movie tells the story of Miriam (Léa Drucker) and Antoine (Denis Ménochet), fight in a nasty custody battle for their son Julien. It is always heartbreaking to watch how the price for a broken marriage is usually paid by innocent children. Same happens in “Custody” when we feel the dilemma of the judge who doesn’t know the truth about their family relations. She is not sure whether to believe Miriam’s claims of domestic abuse or whether Antoine deserves to receive shared custody.
