Saint Omer is an emotionally complex courtroom drama: Rama, a literature professor and novelist, travels north from Paris to Saint-Omer to observe the trial of Senegalese immigrant Laurence Coly, who is accused of leaving her 15-month-old daughter on a beach to be swept away by the tide. Writer-director Alice Diop’s first narrative feature interweaves “complex themes of mother-daughter bonds, immigrant alienation, and postcolonial trauma into a piercing portrait of two mysteriously connected women” (Criterion).
