8 d. ago The Courageous review – rebellious mum on the edge will have you sobbing in sympathy

Call My Agent!’s Ophélia Kolb leads a Swiss drama with morally ambiguous realism reminiscent of the Dardenne brothersJust in time for the migration of children from their summer stations in front of phones, games consoles and laptops back to full-time education comes this Swiss-set tale of a mother on the edge. An outstanding Ophélia Kolb (arguably best known to anglophone audiences for playing the accountant Colette in Call My Agent!) stars here as Jule, a single woman trying to hold it together for her brood of three. Eldest child Claire (Jasmine Kalisz Saurer) is just entering puberty and is savvy enough to work out that mama isn’t always strictly truthful about why she wears an ankle monitor that beeps when she strays from certain areas. (Jule’s explanation that she has weak bones doesn’t really cut it.)

Although the windows remain open in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, a move to either of those leagues isn't currently on the cards.Phillips has been out of favour at City since a nightmare first 18 months after a £42million move from Leeds United in the summer of 2022. He hasn't played for the club since December 2...
