Frankie - 2019 - 7/10

Screen actress Frankie (Isabelle Huppert) is about to drop from the Parade.
Her “cured” cancer has returned as a blaze and she won’t see Christmas.
She arranges a final family trip to Sintra. Her husband, her ex, her son, her step-daughter, a few others.
While not a meddler in the classic sense, Frankie does want to tie up a thread here and there.
The pace is languid, in a good sense, and Sintra is postcard beguiling.
As with actual family musterings, members drift in, disappear, resist civility.
Afterward, while I adored watching this, I sat wondering, “is that it?”
