A seemingly simple taxi ride across Paris evolves into a profound meditation on the realities of the driver, whose personal life is in shambles, and his fare, an elderly woman whose warmth belies her shocking past.
It’s this uncommon grit from the director and co-writer Christian Carion that differentiates the movie from the comforts of the “wise ole coot” genre (from The Straight Story to Pixar’s Up).
