Premiering in Cannes Selection, MORE THAN EVER is about Hélène and Mathieu who have been happily together for many years, the bond between them only growing deeper with time. Faced with an existential decision, Hélène travels alone to Norway to seek peace, an act that will test the strength of their love. Starring Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Old, Corsage) and Gaspard Ulliel in his final performance (Hannibal Rising, Saint Laurent and Moon Knight).
“An affecting reflection on the loneliness we will all have to face at our end, held together by Vicky Krieps’s poised display of unself-pitying despair and liberating acceptance.”
–David Parkinson, Empire Magazine
“[A] poignant meditation on the limits of romance and the reality of terminal illness.”
– Kevin Maher, The Times (UK)
“While More Than Ever’s story is made all the more poignant by the tragic death of Ulliel, there is still a lot to admire here, including Krieps’s mesmerising screen presence and her ability to inhabit vastly different characters with incredible ease.”
– Linda Marric, The Jewish Chronicle
“The undersung director, Emily Atef, does well to make the business of dying, which can be the hoariest of cinematic subjects, feel like a fresh quandary here for two people making up the rules as they go along.”
– Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph (UK)
“Emily Atef’s film deserves the highest praise for telling a complex, layered story about the soul-searching of a woman, without ever becoming circular, self-referential, or self-indulgent.”
– Savina Petkova, WeLoveCinema
