Our take

Playing host to a duel between its characters’ inner lives and shared experiences, this confined confection is a film of simple pleasures and delectably profound mysteries. The sophomore feature from Ramon and Silvan Zürcher, The Girl and the Spider confirms the Swiss siblings as major talents.
