Bonjour Tristesse

Opens May 2

At the height of summer, 18-year-old Cécile (Lily McInerny) is relaxing by the French seaside with her father (Claes Bang) and falling in love with her new boyfriend, when the arrival of her late mother’s enigmatic friend (Chloë Sevigny) turns her world upside down. A modern take on Françoise Sagan’s unforgettable coming-of-age novel.

"An auspicious debut of rich surface pleasures and a mysterious, haunting depth."
David Canfield, Variety
"Chew-Bose makes the daring choice to extend the story beyond the novel and it gives her one of the film’s best episodes, chilling in its revelation of the emotional fallout of Cecile’s actions."
Caryn James, The Hollywood Reporter
