Tailor-made for Tim Roth, this moving female directorial debut transforms grief into a delicate, dialogue-driven encounter of loss and reconciliation.
When Edith and Lucas reunite after ten years at the grave of their deceased son, their conversation becomes both a confrontation and a possible path toward healing. Based on Lot Vekemans’ acclaimed stage play, Poison unflinchingly captures two people navigating grief in their own ways. Director Désirée Nosbusch gradually opens up the settings, mirroring the release of emotions. With quiet intensity, Tim Roth draws from a place of profound personal pain, his performance perfectly balanced by Trine Dyrholm’s tender presence. The result is an uncompromising story of reconciliation—while never forgetting.
