Jalouse - 2017 - 6/10
Teacher Nathalie grows more toxic each passing day.
Her daughter, a slim ballet student, she envies, along with her own students.
Those possessing their youth and a future.
Her ex-husband has found a new partner.
Even toward her best friend, she makes snide comments.
The title and synopsis indicate jealously, yet it runs deeper. Perhaps a mental illness.
An actual cause or explanation proves elusive, and the film frustrates.
