Synopsis
Full Time (À plein temps, 2022) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM, and it moves like a thriller. Julie raises two kids alone in a village outside Paris and commutes into the city every morning to run the housekeeping floor of a luxury hotel.
Her day is timed to the minute — wake the children, drop them with a neighbor, catch the train, work the shift, get home before dark. Then a national transit strike grinds the whole system to a halt. The trains stop. Julie has a job interview she can't miss, bills she can't pay, and an ex-husband who won't pick up the phone.
Laure Calamy holds every frame, work that earned her an acting prize at Venice. Director Eric Gravel shoots social realism with a pounding score and a handheld camera that never sits still, so a missed connection lands like a catastrophe. Stream Full Time online on iFILM if you want a quiet life turned into ninety minutes of pure pressure.
