If you are looking for comedy look elsewhere, this is strangely labeled as a comedy but it has none of it. I guess since today's "woke" culture does not allow for actual comedy movies to be made they have to find some flicks to slap a comedy tag on. Oh well.

The other side of the flight attendants daily life, something very unusual as a topic. It is simply made but realistic, believable and riveting. Adèle Exarchopoulos very convincing, so natural though no glamour at all in this role. But it did not needed it anyway. It is made like a short feature and for this reason it may discourage some people. Also the study and analysis of a modern world young woman dealing with her doubts, hopes, disillusions. Also an indictment against low cost companies, their awful and mercantile rules that respect no one: employees and customers. Ken Loach would have loved this one. A pretty cool must see.

For anyone who has been crew this film feels like a documdrama and Adèle Exarchopoulos plays the role with despondent perfection. Her character is like the beautiful older sister you've always admired who gets treated like a corporate punching bag - the exhaustion, the lonlieness, the transient flying friends, the 'churn and burn' employment model ... it goes on. The mysogynistic Base Supervisor is so realistic one wanted to reach through the screen and strangle him. A big plus for this film was filming in a real 737 because it gave complete reality to the claustrophobia, the neverending lack of privacy, and quiet despair at one's jumpseat as beautiful moments out of reach passed by the window. Here's hoping Dubai was everything Cassandre needed it to be.

The lead actor played the role very well, but I didn't feel like the film was really going anywhere. I cycle of scenes from planes, night clubs, hanging around the hotel/house. It showed how empty and meaningless her life is. And highlighted how grim work can be at times.

This is a film about the dehumanisation and Robotisation of humanity of the workforce after 40 years of neoliberalism. It shows the workers of a bucket price airline being treated like automatons By management hired fired manipulated indoctrinated in whichever way increases profits for the shareholders. It is a profound indictment of neoliberal capitalism and it is done extremely well. The main actress Adele is so gifted and so charismatic that although the scenes depicted are about as fascinating as watching paint dry she still manages to instill life and emotion into this Death culture too many of the younger generations now think is normal life. It is not easy viewing or comfortable and probably the source for some of the negative reviews here which seem to totally miss the point the reason the Raison D'Etre for this Opus In some ways I cannot really describe it reminds one of the early efforts of the Nouvelle Vague in 1960s France. It contains social reality depiction done in a clinical quasi-surgical Manner. If you are interested at all in the way humanity is being turned into a farming pen for transhuman robots this is the film for you. The comedy tag some have given needs to be qualified with the proviso that it is of the driest type. It is not comedy it is a lucid indictment of the place we have collectively got to and that we need to get away from as quickly as we can if we want to remain human. Yet the main actress manages at times to infuse humanity into some of the scenes. The backdrop though Perforce will always remain sterile, boring, uninteresting, nihilistic, biocidal, doomed, headed to nowhere.
