John Chard on Personal Shopper

7/10 · May 23, 2020

It brings up questions regarding the persistence of a person’s spirit following their passing. Olivier Assayas wrote and directed Personal Shopper, which features Kristen Stewart, Lars Eidinger, Sigrid Bouaziz, Anders Danielsen Lie, Ty Olwin, and Hammou Graïa. Yorick Le Saux was responsible for the cinematography. The story centers on a personal shopper in Paris who won't depart the city until she’s connected with her deceased twin brother. Things become more tangled when an unknown individual begins sending her text messages. I can’t really suggest seeing Personal Shopper, even though I found it enjoyable enough myself. The film received jeers during its initial screening at Cannes, but a subsequent showing resulted in a five-minute standing ovation. Checking out reviews on places like IMDb reveals a wide range of opinions, from very low scores to high praise, which demonstrates how polarizing Assayas’ work is. Many viewers anticipated something akin to "Paranormal Activity," but it's quite different than that. It explores themes of mourning and the intricacies of the human psyche when people are under pressure. Stewart delivers a truly remarkable performance for the director. The conclusion will either resonate with you or completely disappoint, but if you accept what’s being presented and consider how the story unfolds, there are some beautiful and otherworldly payoffs to be had. It earns a 7/10.
