The Girl with a Bracelet

Lise, (Mélissa Guers) is 18 and lives with her parents in an upper-middle class home in Nantes. She's just passed her baccalaureate. But for the last 2 years she wears a tracking bracelet and is a virtual prisoner in her house -- she's accused of murdering her best friend. The motive for the killing may have been revenge for the friend's sexual-shaming post on social media. This engrossing courtroom drama, a crisply shot and precisely acted adaptation by director Stéphane Demoustier from an actual front-page case, is a probing psychological profile laced with ambiguity. Did she or didn't she?
