122 minutes of women asking for abortions while bureaucrats say 'have you considered keeping it?' — French cinema at its most uncomfortably real.
A realist dramedy about dedicated social workers who devote their long shifts to helping pregnant women.
Direction
Claire Simon's documentary-trained eye — every frame feels illegally observed.
Acting
Baye and Brakni weaponize bureaucratic niceness until it breaks.
Writing
Dialogue so natural you'll check if it's scripted.
Director
Claire Simon
