Fetish

A successful but emotionally detached psychiatrist, Dr. Solange (Nathalie Baye), finds her meticulously ordered life disrupted when she takes on a new patient. The patient, a young woman named Jeanne (Vicky Krieps), exhibits unsettling psychological issues that begin to blur the lines between therapist and patient. As Solange delves deeper into Jeanne's psyche, she starts to question her own carefully constructed reality and confront hidden desires.

Audiences were divided, with some appreciating its challenging themes and others finding it too unsettling or lacking clear resolution.
