But just who is she?

What you wear

Olivier Assayas' "Personal Shopper" has lots of clothes, but the people beneath them are murky.

Disagreeable and charismatic.

Elusive Elle

In Paul Verhoeven's psychological thriller, Isabelle Huppert's Michèle Leblanc is the sum of violence and lies.

An undercurrent of melancholy.

LA, darkly

Damien Chazelle's "La La Land" is chock with music and dance, but there's a basement at its core.

Loys of borrowing from Christopher Nolan's "Inception.'

Stranger than fiction

Scott Derrickson's saccharine "Doctor Strange," heavy on time warping and mysticism, is redeemed in part by jack-of-all-trades Benedict Cumberbatch.
