Sibyl is a 2019 comedy-drama film directed by Justine Triet from a screenplay she co-wrote with Arthur Harari, and starring Virginie Efira, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Gaspard Ulliel, in his final film to be released theatrically during his lifetime. [6] The film is a co-production between France and Belgium and was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. [7]
Sibyl is a psychotherapist who returns to her first passion: writing. Her newest patient, Margot, is a troubled up-and-coming actress, who proves to be too tempting a source of inspiration. Fascinated almost to the point of obsession, Sibyl becomes more and more involved in Margot's tumultuous life. [1]
Filming took place in Paris, in studios located in Lyon and on the Italian island of Stromboli. [8]
Sibyl received mixed reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 57% of 54 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.9/10. The website's consensus reads: "Intriguing yet uneven, Sibyl is just about held together by its leads, but too often pits great performances against frustrating filmmaking." [9] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 59 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. [10]
AlloCiné, a French cinema site, gave the film an average rating of 3.7/5, based on a survey of 23 French reviews. [11]
