Coming-of-age, tennis, abuse scandal
(JULIE ZWIJGT)
2024, Leonardo Van Dijl, Belgium/Sweden
With Tessa Van den Broeck, Pierre Gervais
A scandal rocks an elite tennis academy where a popular coach is suspended under suspicion of sexually grooming his teen proteges. News of the suicide of one of them breaks and all eyes are on Julie, the young rising star long perceived to be his favorite. While not primarily a sports film, the vigorous and beautifully shot match sequences provide an apt metaphor for a conflict that plays out wrenchingly in Julie’s head. First-time actress and real-life tennis champ Van den Broeck turns in a remarkable performance as Julie, a talented but isolated young woman struggling with conflicting loyalties and a guilty secret as her future hangs in the balance. The official Belgian submission for 2025 Oscar consideration. In Dutch and French with English subtitles.
“A tense, taut, artfully hushed debut feature…coolly riveting execution and subject matter that remains broadly resonant amid an ongoing #MeToo reckoning.”–Guy Lodge, Variety
“A riveting psychological drama, slow-burn intensity.”–David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
