The future of Marguerite, a brilliant student in Mathematics at the prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure, seems all planned out. The only woman from her promo, she is finishing a thesis she has to expose to an audience of researchers. On the D-day, a mistake shakes all her certainties and all her foundations collapse. Marguerite decides to quit everything to start all over again.

3/5

While showcasing a fabulous performance from Rumpf, director Anna Novion’s tale just feels slightly let down by some predictable plotting, emotionally manipulative musical cues and some rather sketchy secondary characters.

3.5/5

Marguerite's theorem contains many clichés, but the magnetic presence of Ella Rumpf makes everything connect like a theorem, which is no less effective for being well-known. [Full review in Spanish]
