Don't concern yourself that this film is set in Paris, and the language is in French. The audio dialogue is crisp and clear, far better than most American and British films that require subtitles to understand what the actors are saying with audio effects drowning out what was reputedly spoken in English. OK I did read the subtitles in English, but I didn't notice them cos this film is an emotional roller coaster - if you have any experience of life, relationships, children, jobs and losing them..and the brink of poverty..
Whilst set in Paris 3 years ago, it is more about now, than 2021. It could equally have been set in London, Manchester or Berlin today.
It's a very fast film, with this now single mum, with two young children, who does her very best to put first, trying to keep her job, whilst trying to find a better one, coping with Childminders, whilst trying to travel into Paris every day, during strikes, protests - the trains, buses, sometimes run ( like London now ).
She has so much determination, you think at any moment, she is going to breakdown, but can't for the sake of her Children. She has to carry on.
