“Queen at Sea” is part of a growing trend of films dealing with dementia, and it’s difficult to describe without sounding similar to other films like “Amour” and “Vortex.” The story begins with Amanda (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter Sara (Florence Hunt) visiting Amanda’s mother, Leslie (Anna Calder-Marshall), and her stepfather, Martin (Tom Courtenay), only to find them in a compromising situation. Because Leslie has Alzheimer’s and can’t consent, Martin has already received a warning about their intimacy. Upset and acting quickly, Amanda calls the police, triggering a complex investigation.
