Good People

Full Time
France, (English subtitles) 2022
Drama, Rated M, 95 mins
Cast: Laure Calamy, Geneviève Mnich, Anne Suarez.
Director: Éric Gravel
A brilliant performance by Laure Calamy as Julie, whose life is a headlong rush from dawn everyday. There are two pre-teen kids who need mustering before she commutes from the distant suburbs to her job in a Parisian luxury hotel, where rooms must be cleaned and rearranged to perfection with precision timing, no matter what appalling state the guests have left them in.
But the harsh reality is that between childcare and travel costs, Julie is barely making ends meet. Added to that, alimony isn’t forthcoming from the children’s father, despite her desperate demands. So, when the possibility of a job more fitting to her skillset and experience arises, Julie hopes to overcome the impossible and wedge extra time into her day to be able to make it to the interview.
"In a knockout performance, Laure Calamy offers welcome visibility to all the unsung women who struggle daily to hold it all together and maintain their dignity, despite the odds." - NZIFF 2022
