About By the Grace of God
Alexandre, a man in his 40s living in Lyon with his wife and children, discovers that the priest who abused him decades ago continues to work with children. He joins forces with others victims of the priest, to bring justice and “lift the burden of silence” about what they endured.
Directed by François Ozon, By the Grace of God leans on a strong ensemble — Melvil Poupaud, Denis Ménochet, Swann Arlaud — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2019.
