A coming-of-age film about a woman in her forties! Sandra Hüller plays Countess Irma, a wide-eyed character drawn into the orbit of Empress Sisi. Sisi is demanding, mercurial, and really quite toxic, but she's the first person to show Irma more than contempt. Naturally this lesbian falls in love. What follows from this premise is ninety minutes of Irma getting queerbaited by the Empress. Irma seems like just another plaything to the unhappy monarch, but to Sisi she is everything. In meeting her, and later, losing her, Irma learns the taste of freedom.

My favorite part of this movie was Sandra Hüller! Another captivating performance. She truly can do no wrong. Her final scene smiling by the sea (remembering Sisi by the sounds of seagulls) was really touching.

Other things:
• Hüller's English accent is exquisite!
• Gorgeous scenery and colors!
• Some truly egregious costuming and music choices in this one

I love how Irma is portrayed in her 40s, you can feel that she sees the world differently, yet she still carries this sense of curiosity, like everything is new and there’s more to discover. Being labeled a failure by your own mother just for being different is truly heartbreaking. It reflects that harsh pressure to fit into society’s standards, where anything outside the norm gets dismissed. There’s this constant tension too, you long deeply for something, while also knowing you might lose it at the same time. I’m currently on a Sandra Hüller marathon, and honestly, she’s incredible. She has that same magnetic presence as Cate Blanchett, completely captivating. I absolutely adore this movie.
