Full Time (2021)
8/10
Fast paced modern life of a single mother
29 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's hectic movie.

The photography and music reflects the pace of the daily life for Julie (Laure Calamy).

She leads a hectic life, living in a village a long way from her equally hectic job as the Chief Housemaid in an upmarket hotel in downtown Paris.

We see her at a critical point in her life.

There's a public transport strike, the mortgage is overdue, the alimony payment from her ex hasnt come through.

Adding to her stress, the elderly babysitter for her 2 small children is struggling to cope.

We find out that it's a fill-in job after leaving her (well-paid) career role in Market Research.

There's light at the end of the tunnel, as she fits in an interview back in the industry she came from.

The film only covers a week or so, as she juggles all these challenges, trying to do all them well, and be a good mother.

Calamy does a very job, showing the variety of emotions of this single mother tying her best to survive and solve the multitude of problems she faces every day.
