Rating: M18

Victoria Spick, a criminal lawyer in the throes of a broken heart, turns up at a wedding with her friend Vincent and Sam, an ex-dealer she has bailed out. The next day, Vincent is accused of attempted murder by his girlfriend. The only witness is the victim's dog. Victoria reluctantly agrees to defend Vincent while she hires Sam as an au pair. The start of a series of cataclysmic events for Victoria.

Second success of Anatomy of a Fall's director Justine Triet, this movie is a subtle comedy depicting a personal yet light-hearted portrait of Victoria, a lawyer questioning everything from her job to her lovers. Thanks to cleverly written dialogues, Virginie Efira and Vincent Lacoste shine in their roles by allowing the audience to discover the flaws and sensibility of their characters. A 5-time Cesar nominated zany comedy that perfectly illustrates our era.
