Other People's Children

Director: Rebecca Zlotowski

2022 / 104min / DCP

“Efira may be as radiant as a Botticelli angel, but it’s her no-nonsense directness that gets to you” writes TIME’s Stephanie Zacharek of the actress’s performance in the comic drama Other People’s Children as Rachel, a childless fortysomething middle-school teacher who, shortly after entering a new relationship with Ali (Roschdy Zem), the father of a four-year-old girl, finds herself increasingly besotted with the kid—and terrified of the risks that come along with such a consuming affection. A poignant, layered, and unerringly compassionate character study, featuring Efira at her most luminous and, at the same time, her most emotionally grounded.
