Une belle course (2022)
Just abysmal

Dreadful. I hated Madeleine and it seems to be a product of French and British filmmaking that older, octogenarian women be full of life, full of beans and dispensing tidy little life lessons-while being condescending to everyone around them. It's embarrassing. The film is utterly unconvincing on every single level, it's contrived and manipulative. The sweet little old lady trope just doesn't work, Madeleine is as close to psychopathic as anybody can be but dressed up in a slew of jazz music and cascading violins. The director makes Paris look good though and so the film's only saving grace, alas.
