Personal Shopper | What to Watch

There's a supernatural element to this strange mystery thriller starring Kristen Stewart

There's a supernatural element to this strange mystery thriller starring Kristen Stewart.

She plays a personal shopper to a globetrotting socialite, flitting between high-fashion boutiques and ateliers in Paris and London to find clothes for her absent employer.

She is also a grief-stricken medium and is trying to make contact with the spirit of her recently deceased twin brother, who died from the congenital heart condition she shares.

The enigmatic narrative that ensues is decidedly odd, and the slow pace may bore some viewers, but the film's mix of ghost story, psychological drama and suspense chiller is genuinely spooky and unsettling, while Stewart once more demonstrates that few can match her when it comes to conveying twitchy millennial angst.
