The Stranger exists at the razor’s edge of complacency. Ostensibly revisionist and stylistic, but also perfectly content to operate within the already existing canon of the novel, not ever straying too far or getting too experimental in its approach. 

If you like the French, the death of sex offenders, black-and-white throwback scenes, and subtle manipulation then Mon Crime is the film for you. 

This understated, sensitive French euthanasia drama is concerned with the human implications of a socio-political issue.
