Playlist (2021)

"Playlist" is a French drama that threads together the messy intimacies of young adulthood, and its cast brings a raw honesty to the material. Sara Forestier anchors the film with the kind of unguarded presence she's known for, while Laetitia Dosch adds a sharp, lived-in edge to her scenes. The archive holds 2 scenes worth seeking out, including a nude scene that pushes past the usual restraint of French cinema and into something more exposed and real. Inas Chanti rounds out the ensemble, giving the film another layer of texture beyond its more explicit stretches.
