Wingwomen

This movie was packed with content/scenes and may come across as disjointed by some views. I had no problem following it. WingWoman does convey female empowerment, strength, independance, interdependance, and promoted family of choice setup in a matter-of-fact manner. More importantly, it confirmed the layered dynamics of female to female relationships that are uniquely different from male-to-male friendships. So fellas, you may not have gotten much from it as there were no major male characters and/or may not have recognized the unique dynamics of female relationships and mutual support/care. While I liked the ending scene (and many other scenes), it did leave much to our imagination. There were nuanced romantic messages imbeded in at least two statements from Carole to Alex. Overall, the movie was well directed with excellent acting, with enough action and skill. Good simple humor moderating relationships.

Several terrific female empowered action movies have been made lately, but this is not one of them. Bummer.

The bad: comedy is personal, but I didnt laugh once and this is supposed to be a comedy. The supposedly witty dialogues were run of the mill and became kinda annoying after a while because the two leading actresses constantly chatter with each other about trivial things, which supposedly is meant to be funny, but became a tedious gimmick... sigh...

More bad: IF only the action part would have been okay, then I wouldnt have minded that the jokes werent anything special. But even the very few action scenes are totally bland and unimpressive.

They dressed up a chick flick as an action/comedy, but what a failure it is.

Too bad, because these actresses are really wonderful performers whom I like to watch in many other French movies, but they couldnt save this movie from turning out to be quite bland and uneventful and tedious. I fault the direction and the writing.

As a filmmaker, Mélanie Laurent has made some fine dramas throughout the 2010s. Her foray into Netflix's doomed action-comedy genre yields mixed results. While it portrays the "female friendship" aspect in a way that puts the recent Charlie's Angels film to shame, it struggles to build tension within the set-pieces and concludes in a super-dodgy way. The star performer here undoubtedly is Adèle Exarchopoulos who fully embraces the role of Alex - a sniper with a vulnerable side. Her equation with Caroline (Laurent) is wonderful to watch, and the ladies sure seem to be having fun. Oh, there are bloopers during the closing credits!

The plot just goes through the motions, and the laughs are occasional. Even the addition of a third member (Manon Bresch) doesn't really elevate the stakes. The main antagonist - Godmother, played by Isabelle Adjani - and her relationship with Caroline is only elucidated over a few lines, making it difficult to connect with her "reasons". Of course, then there's Netflixisation of everything - the action comes to sudden halts, some sections deliberately look like song montages, and the story never really comes full circle. That ending is such a cop-out, and that made me reduce ½ a star.

It's not an action movie, actually, it has very little to do with action, it's a funny and enjoyable movie about love and friendship.

There are flaws and holes in the plot in my opinion and some parts could have been written better, it seems to me that the movie is a little bit static throughout all of its duration, there are not major plot twists, I don't know... I didn't mind it but it didn't convinced me 100% neither, it's not bad, but it's also not good, it's enjoyable and the actresses are really good in their roles, mostly watched for them, they really did an amazing job.

I know that the robbery was not the main subject in the movie but I wouldn't have mind it if they put some more action during that scenes Still, it's worth watching.

I loved this film, it's beautiful, funny and entertaining.

A lot of the reviewers here missed the subtle humour but it had me tickled and had me interested most of the way through it.

Some reviewers also complained about it not being an action movie and wasting two hours watching it...why anyone would sit and watch something they're not enjoying for 2 hours is their own personal problem.

If you're a die hard Tom Cruise or Vin Diesel action type film fan then maybe this is not for you. It's a love story. With some action on top. All perfectly balanced.

It's female at the helm and behind the script. It's female in the staring roles...feminity runs through its veins and I'm a better man from watching it 😊
