Thoroughly enjoyed this film having watched it for the second time. A valid dramatised commentary on Human Resources working practices in France as well as a good story.

Great acting, script and direction and quite thought provoking.

This is a very predictable French film without much of the flowery dialog and histrionic acting that is so common in these offerings. It's theme is a well worn one of the evil corporation exploiting and manipulating its employees. It does engage viewers throughout and is a change from the very moody films from France, filmed in low light and feature innumerable close ups of eyes, mouths and other parts of facial anatomy!

You deal here with one more depressing film about the everlasting problem of harassment and over strain in big companies. The meat chopper, the human slaughterhouses of the modern era where employees and managers are considered as animals, cattle, expendable stuff. After LA LOI DU MARCHE, RESSOURCES HUMAINES and CAROLE MATHIEU and many other movies since one decade now, if you are yourself in deep misery because of your job and - or manager, on the edge of lethal burnout, limit to jump through your office window from the tenth floor, so, PLEASE, don't go to see this outstanding but realistic feature not for all audiences. You have been warned. Lambert Wilson has never been so terrific as a nasty and ruthless executive and Celine Salette awesome as a Human Resources manager. A pure gem.

Harsh, intense, super realistic movie. The actress, Céline Sallette, is gorgeous and very talented. And it was great to see Paris, as well.

It's good to be freelancer when you watch a film like this one because you avoid certain unhealthy aspects of professional life. It takes a moral of steel to navigate the corporate bubble as well as the labour inspectorate.

This movie is a gem. Well done, well acted. Supreme. This is exactly what is happening right now in many companies around the world, not necessarily corporations, but the mid companies and small. They get rid off good employees, older employees like underwear. I think anyone can relate to this movie. Recommended.

Celine Sallette moves from London to Paris to a 90,000 employee corporation in Paris. Her job is to make things unpleasant so certain targetted employees would quit. One employee didn't quit but jumped from the compny railing. Violiene Fumeau is the inspector who will charge the company or Sallette for employee endangerment; a felony. Lambert Wilson is the horrible corporate boss. The script is excellent in its portrayal of big corporations where no one person matters; everyone is expendable. Nicolas Silhol directed and wrote the film. It shows that corporate employees have to answer their cell phones 24 hours a day. It is a horrible rat race. Great film!
