'French Exit' Film Review: Michelle Pfeiffer Brings Life to Eccentric Comedy
“They’re not normal people!” He’s right, of course — they’re not normal people. But they are fun to be around, in an exasperating kind of way. “French Exit” was directed by Azazel Jacobs (“Momma’s Man,” “The Lovers”) and adapted by Patrick deWitt from his 2018 novel. It begins in flashback, with Frances showing up at the boarding school where she’s stashed her son, Malcolm. He’s only about 12, but she seems determined to take him out of school for good. “What about my clothes?” he says as they head for the door. “I’ll buy you new clothes,” she says.
