What Driving Madeleine is

The film offers a taxi ride across Paris that’s less a commute and more a two-hour shoulder to cry on. Its plot follows a shambolic cabbie and his elderly fare, whose kindness hides a past too heavy for polite conversation. The ride ends just as you realize the movie thought it was delivering therapy, not entertainment.
