Gentle Monster to Conclave: the seven best films to watch on TV this week

A devastating drama of love and betrayal starring Léa Seydoux. Plus: Ralph Fiennes is superb in the Bafta-winning thriller about picking the new pope

Marie Kreutzer’s follow-up to her bravura feminist historical reboot Corsage is a devastating drama of love, betrayal and family secrets. Léa Seydoux – who never seems to make a bad film – stars as musician Lucy, based in the countryside outside Munich with her film-maker spouse Philip (Laurence Rupp) and their young son Johnny (Malo Blanchet). Then one day, police officer Elsa (Jella Haase) turns up and Philip is arrested for possession of child sexual abuse images. As Lucy’s certainties about her life collapse around her, Elsa has to deal with her own father’s dementia and associated bad behaviour, in a tale that grows more disturbing with each revelation.
