It is the first case of its kind.
Kelly-Anne doesn't need to do this, she lives a high end but austere lifestyle funded by modelling and high stakes games of online poker. She has highly automated her life and is slightly paranoid about surveillance. Kelly-Anne is well versed in OSINT and the information economy of the dark web so is seemingly doing this to avoid identification.
The case is a sensational media circus and Chevalier has "fans" who protest his innocence. Kelly-Anne befriends one of these, Clémentine (Laurie Babin) who is also sleeping near the court.
CW: reference to and audio from torture/snuff videos with upsetting themes of sexualised crimes including murder
This sort of courtroom-adjacent drama from Pascal Plante is a peek into obsession and self destruction.
Kelly-Anne is a bit of an enigma until the very final section: obviously obsessed with the case but not a "fan" like Clémentine and you're unsure where it's going.
It's held together by Gariépy who's mesmerising as she shows us someone filled with emptiness going about ruthless pursuit of something maybe she shouldn't have.
A real solid, meditative movie 8/10 but obviously the subject matter is tough.
