Laetitia, a news reporter, leaves her daughters with a caretaker to cover the presidential elections, and tells him to keep the girls away from Vincent, their father.

“Age of Panic” stands as one of the exemplary works of modern French cinema, a landmark of what a daringly original filmmaker can do when working in a system of her own.

The improvisational story and frenzied performances match the chaotic footage; the film is exhausting, but the action is energizing.

It’s hard to find a stable emotional POV to view this drama from, and that’s a good thing.

Writer/director Justine Triet leverages her documentary experience in her feature film debut to create a sense of escalating stress, a bubble about to burst in both the mobbed streets of Paris and Laetitia's personal life.

Rated: B+
