Grieving the recent death of her twin brother, she haunts his Paris home, determined to make contact with him.
Critic Reviews:
- “A knockout psychological thriller…Not a lot of effects involved here but some top-notch tension from director Olivier Assayas…A very unusual, very effective ghost story.” – 3AW
- “It's a bit crackpot as drama, but Personal Shopper has such controlled burn, such depth of feeling around this topic of grief, and such an aching performance from Stewart, that it hardly matters that it doesn't quite make sense. Logic is over-rated.” – Sydney Morning Herald
- “The saving grace is the commanding presence of Stewart in virtually every scene of the picture. Your mind way wander, but you won't be able to take your eyes off her for a moment.” – Herald Sun (Australia)
