The acting is superb. The story is about the life of an airline stewardess in 2019 and 2020. Adele is completely believable.
Her life and her job are the focal points. The problems are she has to deal with the airline bureaucracy with their mickey mouse rules. For instance "does she get credit for how many drinks she can sell or does the everyone on the crew share." And push push the drinks, chips, etc. She and other stewardesses cross a strike line to get to their planes. When asked about her future she replies "my future is paying rent today." Pointing out the real life conflicts between the haves, the airlines, and the have nots, the employees. When one of her crew rats her out to management over a trivial event it her life in focus. That no matter how well she does her job the airline only cares about its rules.
The movie is not a fast paced shoot'em up but rather a slow story that moves the viewer along.
French directors do spend to much time on ambient scenery that don''t do anything for the storyline.
