3/5

In more ways than one, the spectre of death hangs heavily over More Than Ever, and Atef does not seek to comfort the viewer. But she does examine the marital and gendered responses and rifts to disease and grief that are rarely explored on screen.

This is Krieps’ show, another elegantly virtuosic, intelligent turn that, in this case, imbues sickness with dignity so that every strained grasp for breath feels like a victory for autonomy.

Krieps and Ulliel give weight and texture to the couple’s push and pull.

Vicky Krieps and the late Gaspard Ulliel star in More Than Ever, Emily Atef’s quietly profound drama about an ill woman seeking comfort in the face of death.

In many ways, More Than Ever is as much a film about life and death as it is about nature and civilization.

This is a compelling and moving drama about how people cope differently with the inevitability of death.

It may be slow for some, but the acting is wonderful. Vicky Krieps is especially good. She conveys authenticity over a broad range of emotions. The theme of death is difficult, but it is explored deeply and realistically, both from the perspective of the dying and those who love them. The cinematography with its excellent use of light, is also worth noting.
