Synopsis
The Successor (Le Successeur, 2023) is Xavier Legrand's psychological thriller, ready to watch online on iFILM. At thirty, Ellias Barnes has just landed everything he wanted: the artistic director's chair at a storied Paris couture house.
With a campaign shooting and his debut collection days away, word arrives that the father he hadn't spoken to in years has died. Ellias flies to Quebec to settle the estate. What waits for him there is more than the weak heart he may have inherited — it's a secret ugly enough to bury the career he built.
Legrand, who made the gut-punch drama Custody, again pulls a family apart at the seams, this time around success laced with someone else's sins. Marc-André Grondin carries it almost without a breath, from runway gloss down to a cold basement of the past. Slow, airless and quietly mounting, it suits viewers who want their thrillers built on dread and concealment rather than gore. Stream The Successor online on iFILM.
