The Gentle Monster trailer depicts a family’s collapse following a crime

The debut teaser for Marie Kreutzer’s The Gentle Monster portrays the quiet, intimate life of a family that begins to unravel following allegations of a crime. The footage opens with home-video-style clips showing family members in a warm, affectionate setting. However, the tone shifts when a mother tells her daughter, 'Darling, I feel like something isn't right.' In the following scene, the father or son-in-law appears shirtless at the door to confront officers, one of whom states, 'We have a search warrant. We are coming in.' From this moment, both the film's atmosphere and the family's future are irrevocably altered. The film stars Léa Seydoux and Catherine Deneuve. Directed by Kreutzer, the drama follows the story of a fractured family. It previously premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received praise for Seydoux’s committed performance, though some critics noted the narrative felt overly cluttered.
