Director Christian Petzold, dependably sensitive to the frustrations of interior characters, reunites with his signature star ...

Christian Petzold and Paula Beer reunite for another contained, subtle drama in Miroirs No. 3, where a family takes in a stranded stranger.
Using memory like yarn that Laura's presence weaves together, Petzold's methodically paced film builds its emotion gradually.
It feels in conversation with Petzold's other works in a way that informs, rather than atomizes, our understanding of his filmmaking.
The German auteur Christian Petzold made his name with haunting psychological thrillers. His new film was shaped by losses of his own.
