Two months before the French national election for a new president, this movie is of course fashioned for this context. And very accurate too. This is the story of a young woman, played by the always excellent Emilie Dequenne, who decides one day to get into politics to help people. But the party which she decides to get involved in is the French nationalist party. And, as you can guess, everything will not go as she wishes. Especially if she falls in love in an extremist right winged hood, also fired from the party for his violence. You have here excellent performances and also story telling. The party in question is shown as it actually is. This is not a film for it nor against it. That's what I love here. Lucas Belvaux is still a great director. He proves it on every film.
