Kim Higelin

Kim Higelin’s acting career? Kind of wild, honestly. She’s one of those faces you spot and think, “Hold up, where have I seen her before?” Well, if you’ve stumbled onto some intense French cinema lately, odds are she’s the reason you’re glued to the screen. In Consent (2023), she dives headfirst into a story that’s not just gritty—it’s uncomfortable in all the right ways. The film claws at the messy gray areas of power and boundaries. Watching her navigate the chaos, you feel every little wince and awkward silence. She isn’t afraid to get raw, and it’s impossible not to root for her, even when things get ugly. Then there’s Alterlove (2024). It’s a total switch-up—think more playful, less doom-and-gloom, but with enough emotional punch to keep you hooked. Higelin nails that vibe where you’re laughing one second and suddenly, bam, you’re in your feelings. Not everyone can pull off that kind of emotional whiplash, but she makes it look easy. The flick messes with ideas about connection, love, and all the weird stuff that ties people together. And don’t sleep on Plan B (2021). Here, Higelin holds her own in a story about second chances and the weird, winding road to redemption. The movie’s got heart, sure, but it also isn’t afraid to get a little messy—sort of like life. Between the three, you get a sense that Higelin’s got range for days, bouncing between tough, vulnerable, and straight-up hilarious. She’s definitely not just a one-note wonder.
