Case 137
Stéphanie, a police officer working for Internal Affairs, is assigned to a case involving a young man severely wounded during a tense and chaotic demonstration in Paris. While she finds no evidence of illegitimate police violence, the case takes a personal turn when she discovers the victim is from her hometown.
Critics Sentiment
Stéphanie faces complex moral battles over justice
Police violently attack the protester with rubber bullets
The film drops sharply from the setup of the riots to the brutal police attack on the protester, then recovers as the investigation begins
Case 137 follows a challenging emotional arc that mirrors its procedural investigation, starting with moderate tension during the protest setup, plummeting during the violent police attack, then building steadily as the determined investigator takes on the case. The film peaks during its character study moments exploring moral complexity, but concludes on a deliberately sad note that critics found appropriately depressing yet essential viewing.
