Alice Lemaire
Alice Lemaire, honestly, is one of those names that keeps popping up if you hang around indie European cinema. Her filmography? Kind of a wild ride already, even though she’s not exactly a household name—yet. “It’s Raining in the House” (2023) is probably the one that made people really sit up. It’s one of those moody, rainy-day dramas that sneaks up on you. The whole thing feels damp and close, like you’re stuck in a tiny Belgian town where secrets drip off the walls. Alice’s performance? She nails that restless, yearning vibe, making you root for her character even when she’s making bad choices.
Then there’s “Aya” from 2021. That one’s got a completely different energy. The story spins around a young woman caught between two worlds, and Alice plays her with this raw, understated intensity that just pulls you in. It’s not flashy, but it sticks with you. And, not to skip ahead, but “L’été de Jahia” (2025) is already getting buzz, even though barely anyone’s seen it yet. People are whispering that Alice might just break out big-time with this one. The film’s supposed to be this sun-drenched coming-of-age story, and she’s rumored to have the lead—a role that totally fits her vibe.
What’s cool about Alice is she doesn’t seem interested in doing the same thing twice. Her choices feel unpredictable, but in a good way. She brings this messy, real energy to her roles, the kind that makes you forget you’re watching a movie and not just peeking in on someone’s life. If you’re not watching her yet, you probably should be.
