Following the death of Paula, one of her long-time patients, psychiatrist Lilian Steiner becomes convinced that her supposed death by suicide is actually an unsolved murder.

“The screenplay by Zlotowski, Gaëlle Macé and Anne Berest offers enough twists and turns to keep things moving at a brisk pace, and while various clues and red herrings––including the loss of a tape recording and recent death of Paula’s wealthy aunt––suggest a classic whodunit, one comes to realize that ‘A Private Life‘s’ crime element is secondary to what the protagonist discovers about herself in the process.” ~ Zhuo-Ning Su, The Film Stage
