9/10
You need to practice your smile

Here we have such an elegant - and true to its name - production. Essential direction (a first feature) with original camerawork, clean and colorful photography, postmodern medley music. Yet acting and especially the screenplay are top notch: there, lots of "fucks" are given.

Character study of a young lost soul and profession study of flight attendants (eye opening for all those not used to how complex multinational business organizations may manage their HR).

Despite its qualities you're warned: not really entertaining except for very few sparks here and there especially towards the end of the movie (the scene where the sisters talk with their dad was so touching I had to cry). Indeed mostly thought provoking, uncomfortable and a little slow (had to watch it at 1,25x) yet one of the best dramas of 2021 (I haven't watched "Murina" who won in the same category at Cannes, but I doubt this will be topped).

I might be a little biased since I find A. Exarchopoulos to be outrageously sensual - maybe it's more of an 8... but I swear I can give her movies low votes as well... Looking forward to the next Lecoustre/Marre's endeavours.
