... Well almost she goes with The Machine in the end but is mildly reluctant/conflicted .... the film sez a lot about France after 40 years of NEO liberalism and precariousness of living for the bottom quarter of society; it is the same the world over since Maggie and Ronnie started to arguably destroy the world
OK the film is good nicely paced believable in its main lines but there are issues. There is a Woke tendency these days to want to try and eradicate race gender nationality in the great drive by the NWO the instigators of Woke. So here in the film we have another perfect example of this. Louise Bourgoin here is supposed to be the biological mother of Samy Belkessa now i am not a geneticist but this seems far-fetched; beyond what suspension of disbelief requires and we see more and more of this in French or US movies. In Deep Water (2022) we had Cuban actress Ana de Armas in a marriage to Ben Affleck both parents of their "biological" fully Chinese daughter. The mind did boggle
Enough of that. To the film: it shows quasi fascistic actually fully fascistic practices by big real estate money concerns turning some of the population into a slave class a sort of Hunger Games society which is also The Agenda and it does this really well
The fact that in the denouement the main character Louise Bourgoin decides to throw in her lot with the oppressor and not the oppressed mars it all more than a little but it shows therefore the dog eat dog quality of the society; here France; but anywhere would do equally ....
Not a masterpiece for me a tad caricatural in parts but a good 7 totally worth a spin if you care about social matters social engineering the enslavement of the bottom quarter of society.
PS then i find out the Romanian caretaker was played by an Iranian actor Sâm Mirhosseini why not? Such a dearth of Romanians ? They looked around none to be seen c'mon surely Bucharest? Not Tehran scouts ... next time .... it will make it easier. 🙃😉

- Frankly there is no need for this unless one is trying to push an agenda and it makes for very poor verisimilitude/believability
