An expert in creating provocative film, François Ozon executes here his most daring film; its subect: gender identity. 

For the original take on the classic love triangle story. The New Girlfriend is an emotional roller-coaster that keeps viewers in suspense until the final outcome. 

For its mix of drama and comedy. Undeniably, the movie has its fair share of comedic moments, but the movie is ultimately about two characters who are trying to find their true selves and expressing who they are without hurting themselves or their loved ones. You will laugh but you‘ll find yourself wondering if you really should have. 

For the magistral opening scene, a lesson of camera movement that reminds us of the cinema of Brian de Palma. Make sure you don’t arrive late to the theater! 

For the constant ambiguity in the relationship between the two main characters thanks to clever editing.

For the impeccable cast. For once, Romain Duris drops his usual charming and seductive lead type, and trades it in for a complex character, finding his best role so far.
