Rigorously structured and glacially paced, this sophomore feature from Andrea Pallaoro (after his 2015 family tragedy, “Medeas”) is a minimalist portrait of brutal isolation and extreme emotional anguish.

Rampling, a Modigliani of long-limbed litheness with a face built for sorrow, inhabits the role and the visual compositions so deeply that the character resonates long after the film has ended.

This is an impressively rigorous exercise, in which the director’s sober formalism finds a kindred spirit in his leading lady’s studied, secretive restraint.

There’s nothing else to watch or care about in the entire film anyway. Once again, a great actress is on her own.

Charlotte Rampling gives an emotionally rigorous display of bruising internalization, without an ounce of vanity, in the title role of Hannah. But although the lead performance commands admiration, the overall impact of this unrelentingly dour account of a woman struggling to carry on with her life after her husband's imprisonment is dulled by its distancing approach.

There is a real seed of dramatic possibility in Hannah, but Pallaoro smothers it beneath the lacquer of the film’s fastidiously mannered minimalism.

Hannah starts off looking like it is going to be one of those arty bores that is their only to please the initiated few, and in fairness it doesn't dispel those initial feelings entirely. However, as the film unfolds a superlative Charlotte Rampling draws the viewer into her small and somewhat tragic world. The film has little dialogue, no big action scenes and a lot is left unspoken as to why her life is as it is. Reasons are actually not important as the film is more interested in showing us this character gradually breaking down due to her situation rather than from what caused it. Hints are given, but it is finally left to an intelligent audience to come up with any answers.
