Full Trailer for ‘Gentle Monster’ Weird Thriller Starring Léa Seydoux

“I love you so much it hurts!” Netflix debuted the main official trailer for Gentle Monster, an unsettling thriller film ready to view starting in November in the fall. Not one of my favorites from this year – Gentle Monster first premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. 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. 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 arrested for an unspeakable crime – yep he is actually a pedophile. She uncovers this 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 wish this was better at exploring any of the tricky topics it wants to get into, but this really fails at discussing anything. An extra empty, meaningless movie to ignore. // Continue Reading ›
