Vincent Lacoste was nominated for a César Award for Best Actor for his breathtaking, astonishingly quiet and introspective performance as David, a sweet, carefree young man who suddenly has the responsibilities of adulthood thrust upon him. Making her screen debut, Isaure Multrier, is nothing short of remarkable as his 7-year-old niece. The film’s writer-director, Mikhaël Hers, displays extraordinary grace and precision in bringing this fragile-yet-extremely-timely tale to the screen. Amanda is a contemplative exploration of shattering loss, coping mechanisms and the transcendent resilience of shell-shocked survivors in the wake of a terrorist attack in Paris… where life goes on, but nothing will ever be the same.
