Storyline

A novelist attends the trial of a woman accused of killing her 15-month-old daughter by abandoning her to the rising tide on a beach in northern France.

Critics consensus

“A gut-punching contemplation of a woman's immigrant experience, Saint Omer puts a mother on the stand and the audience in the jury box to find humanity in the inhumane.”

This film about a Senegalese immigrant on trial in France is made all the more horrifying by its cool clarity

Alice Diop’s stunner of a film tucks a whole fraught universe into a courtroom drama.

At the end of it certain facts still don’t add up. They nag at you in what is otherwise a compelling film about motherhood in all its contradictions.

RTThe ProgressiveJul 20, 2024

Instead of forcing viewers’ responses, Diop puts faith in her performers, which pays off in dividends.
