Film Information

“My plan was to die before the money ran out,” says 60-year-old penniless Manhattan socialite Frances Price (Michelle Pfeiffer), but things didn’t go as planned. Her husband Franklin has been dead for 12 years and with his vast inheritance gone, she cashes in the last of her possessions and resolves to live out her twilight days anonymously in a borrowed apartment in Paris, accompanied by her directionless son Malcolm (Lucas Hedges) and a cat named Small Frank—who may or may not embody the spirit of Frances’s dead husband.

Reviews

“The misadventures of the eccentrically wealthy may not exactly fit the mood right now, but the new FRENCH EXIT is so genuine in its mix of arch and earnest, idiosyncrasy and earthiness that it creates a space all for itself.”

Mark Olson
Los Angeles Times

“Even when the film as a whole grows a little ungainly, as it fills up with supporting characters who feel more like one-note ideas than actual people, Pfeiffer’s steely presence anchors the proceedings.”
