Another great Dardennes film

The great Dardenne Brothers check in again w a terrific drama set in the industrial plains of Belgium. As w all or at least most of their films is is a socio-political story told through character and action, and in particular a story about a character who faces a crisis and learns and grows from her experience.  The movie follow extremely closely the POV of the main character, a young doctor who single-handedly runs a clinic that treats many immigrants, elderly, all of them working class, none wealthy. Her world is upended when she learns that a woman has bee killed outside of her clinic and the woman had tried to gain entry by ringing the bell after hours but the dr ignored the bell. She sets off on a dangerous quest to learn the name and of The Unknown Girl , and in the process she learns about her values and about her courage.  Much of the movie is about keeping secrets, including those not only of the dr but of many others whose paths she crosses and whose lives she sometimes threatens or disrupts.  It's an entirely engaging and for the most part, admittedly there are a few too many coincidences and overlap of lives, believable drama, all told in a low key focused, almost literary manner.  The dardennes films are all of a piece, working the same native ground in many variants, as they continue to build a formidable lifetime of cinematic work.  They have the potential to be among the greats.
