First Teaser for Unsettling Thriller ‘Gentle Monster’ with Léa Seydoux

“What other secrets do you have?” Netflix has unveiled their teaser trailer for the film Gentle Monster, an unsettling thriller arriving to watch starting in November. From Austrian filmmaker Marie Kreutzer, this disconcerting child abuse drama is about a pianist whose life unravels when the police come to arrest her husband. It first premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews and being released by Netflix briefly in US theaters before it hits streaming. When a police raid shatters her life, a concert pianist must protect her son and confront how little she knows her husband after he is accused of an unspeakable crime. She uncovers a life-shattering truth that forces her to confront the complexities of love, trust, and deception. Léa Seydoux stars as Lucy Weiss, along with Laurence Rupp, Jella Haase, and Catherine Deneuve. Featuring music by Camille. The film switches between German, French, and English conversations all the time, which doesn’t really work well, but so be it. I’m not really a fan of this film – it fails at exploring any of the more prickly themes it’s trying to address and leaves you feeling drained after watching it. Have a look. // Continue Reading ›
