A full time: a daily survival with a brilliant Laure Calamy (critic)

A single mother juggles as she can between personal and professional life in time of strike. A societal thriller dominated by a voltage never taken in default.

Full -timeEric Gravel’s film carried by the excellent Laure Calamyhad a lot First During her Released in May 2022 in the cinema. Good news, it arrives in clear this Sunday on France 2.

It is a race against the clock that we press lost in advance. Wrongly? Right? You would reveal it to damage the immersive experience proposed by Eric Gravel (Crash Test Aglaë) for 85 minutes without dead time. Full -time is lived as the most breath of survival. A survival Daily in the footsteps, the head and the exhausted body of Julie, single mother of two children living in the countryside, a cleaning lady in a Parisian palace finally winning an interview for a position closer to her aspirations. Everything could therefore go for the best in the best of worlds for the one we perceive that it was not spared from life. Except that a transport strike broke out. And that the timetable to the millimeter she had made between the child care, her job and her maintenance shatters, pushing her to juggle delays and lies and push the plug further and further as the successful interviews. Julie evolves on a thin ridge between losing everything and winning everything. And at no time does the film loosen the vice of a dummy tension except the time of a child’s birthday which will quickly recreate another anxiety. Through the thriller, Gravel recounts this France which cracks from everywhere by avoiding the reactive ease of anti-strike discourse. As with Loach, the poorest have no choice but to impact as poor than them to save their skin. Multi-printed at the Mostra 2021, this summit of social film also offers a Laure Calamy, brilliant from start to finish, a role far from its post jobs Ten percent.
