Maybe it tried to make some kind of Sidney Lumet like topic; yes, I guess it is inspired with what Sidney Lumet made in his career. Politics "underware", bribery, threats of all kinds, blackmail.... Isabelle Hupper and Reda Kated steal the whole show, and I also think the cast is OK. But the story, screenplay is a bit confused, I could not get everything, I would not be able to summarize in detail every step of the intrigue. I don't say it is too complicated, but just hard to follow. But realistic, yes, no problem, the screen writers and producers know what they talk about. So, a good French film but not for prime time audiences.
