Toutes les deux

About This Movie

So, 'Toutes les deux' is an intriguing character study that unfolds in the car—a road trip with heavy stakes. Alma, the daughter, is on a mission to sway her mother, who’s stubbornly rejecting treatment. It’s a slow burn, really, with tension simmering beneath the surface as they navigate their complicated relationship. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost claustrophobic at times, which adds to the emotional weight. Performances are raw and gripping; you can feel the desperation in Alma's voice and the quiet resignation from her mother. Practical effects are minimal; it’s all about dialogue and those long, lingering shots that let you soak in the moments. Themes of love, loss, and the struggle against inevitability resonate strongly. It stands out for its intimate approach to a tough subject.
