Purportedly based on real events,
Mark of an Angel presents Catherine Frot as a mother still unable to come to terms with the loss of her first child seven years previously, facing imminent divorce and estrangement from her son. The situation is exacerbated when she becomes fixated with the sister of one of her son's friends, convinced that the girl is her lost daughter.
From there the film moves into stalker territory, with Frot going further and further off the rails in her insistence on her seemingly impossible conviction, and this is relatively compelling in the way that watching a car crash might be. Unfortunately, the plot itself suddenly crashes too.
4/10
