Locarno Review: Denis Côté’s <i>Nobody’s Violence</i> Is an Astonishingly Alive Thriller
['Leonardo Goi', 'An Italian-Born', 'Uk-Raised Film Critic', 'Leonardo Goi Is An Alumnus Of The Locarno Critics Academy', 'Berlinale Talents', 'Where He Coordinates The Talent Press. Along With The Film Stage', 'He Writes For Mubi', 'Senses Of Cinema', 'Kinoscope. For Reviews', 'Reports The Festival Circuit']
The Film Stage
But no Côté feature feels as funereal as Nobody’s Violence, in which frequent collaborator Larissa Corriveau returns as Mira, a laconic wanderer who helps terminally ill people end their lives.
The plot might be easy enough to sum up, but the film itself feels as anfractuous and mysterious as its leading lady.
Mira does what she does simply because she can, as she admits in a rare confession, but she’s no robot.
In line with her previous Côté collaborations, she walks into Violence a watchful sentinel, an analogue for us viewers.
Nobody’s Violence premiered at the 2026 Locarno Film Festival.
