There’s a friendly family fight over Oliver Assayas’ “Personal Shopper” at The Playlist. Jessica Kiang kind of hated it, Gregory Ellwood kinda loved it (it made his top 10 of 2016), and I would say I’m somewhere in the middle but leaning positive, warts and all. Yes, Assayas’ film has its problems and can be borderline ridiculous at times, but that ridiculousness can be fun. It’s also on our Best Films Of 2017 We’ve Already Seen list and yes, there was some squabbling over that, too.

One thing most people can agree on is that Kristen Stewart is pretty superb in it and sells this psychological thriller-cum-ghost story quite well. This week, a international poster for the film was released, reminding us the movie isn’t far from landing the U.S. Here’s the synopsis:
Olivier Assayas, the internationally-acclaimed director of Clouds of Sils Maria and Summer Hours, returns with this ethereal and mysterious ghost story starring Kristen Stewart as a high-fashion personal shopper to the stars who is also a spiritual medium. Grieving the recent death of her twin brother, she haunts his Paris home, determined to make contact with him.
Distributed by IFC Films, “Personal Shopper” hits theaters in limited release on March 10th. Below, the new poster and some new photos (that might be a bit old to hardcore Kstew fans, but are relatively new to us [don’t @ me]). Excited for the film? Let us know in the comments.
