Michelle Pfeiffer Teases Real-Life Origins of 'French Exit' Socialite Character
Michelle Pfeiffer has been receiving rave reviews for her role as a well-to-do New Yorker who flees to Paris with her son (Lucas Hedges) as she burns through her savings in the New York Film Festival's closing night movie, Azazel Jacobs' French Exit. The Hollywood Reporter's Jon Frosch wrotein his review that the actress "sucks the juice from each line like a Louisianan devouring a crawfish." "It's a full-on diva turn — a smorgasbord of side-eye and shade, of lacerating one-liners dispatched between drags on cigarettes and slurps of martinis," he said.
