Plot.
In the near future, Clarissa, a novelist with writer’s block, joins a prestigious, state-of-the-art artist residency where she’s assigned an AI assistant named Dalloway. The latter quickly becomes more than a simple assistant and turns into a true confidante for Clarissa. Unsettled by Dalloway’s increasing intrusion, Clarissa is warned by whistleblower Mathias, who informs her of the true motives behind the residency and its tech company funder. Clarissa begins to suspect that this seemingly perfect situation is in fact a meticulously crafted trap.

Wiki.
The Residence (French: Dalloway) is a 2025 thriller film written and directed by Yann Gozlan. Gozlan wrote the screenplay with Nicolas Bouvet-Levrard and Thomas Kruithof, which they adapted from Tatiana de Rosnay's 2020 novel Flowers of Darkness. The film stars Cécile de France as a writer participating in an artist residency where she is assisted by a dedicated artificial intelligence system, which is voiced by singer Mylène Farmer. The supporting cast includes Anna Mouglalis, Frédéric Pierrot, Lars Mikkelsen, Freya Mavor and Douglas Grauwels. It is a co-production between France and Belgium.
The film had its world premiere at the Midnight Screenings section of the 78th Cannes Film Festival on 16 May 2025, and will be theatrically released in France on 17 September 2025 by Gaumont.
