Single mother Julie (César award-winning actress Laure Calamy) works a grueling job as a head chambermaid in a five-star Parisian hotel. Julie's daily balance of commuting from her remote suburb into Paris, tenuous childcare and search for a new job to get her out of debt, becomes unmanageable during a paralyzing transport strike in Paris. Literally running from dawn to sunset to get to her job and back home in time to fetch her children, Julie is constantly on the verge of a breakdown. When she finally gets a job interview for a position more suited to her skill set, Julie has to walk a very tightrope between keeping her current job, and sneaking out while calling on co-workers to cover for her as more obstacles pile up in front of her.

Full Time goes further in its quest for realism than anything ever released by the Dardenne brothers or Britain’s purveyor of miserabilist social realism, Ken Loach. Go to Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian 05/24/2023

It’s such an authentic and relatable film – so meticulously observed, in fact, that to be perfectly honest, I assumed it had been made by a woman. Go to Full Review Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle 03/16/2023

Full Time (À Plein Temps) is nothing like a thriller or a horror movie, and yet it must rank among the most tense and uncomfortable films I have ever seen. Every second feels like walking on eggshells. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times 02/09/2024

Logan C 07/06/2023 They turned an emotionally charged slice of life into a suspense thriller which is super interesting. I think the content may be too close to home for some. This was a fine movie, but not the kind easily recommended to others. See more Malieckal 03/05/2023 Expertly directed propulsive storyline, amplified by an excellent cut. Stressful, but fulfilling. Strong performances by an almost uniformly female cast. Recommended! See more Roy J 02/15/2023 Most stressful movie I've seen since Uncut Gems. Fast paced and edge of the seat. Ending was great! See more Judith K @ziqiongmom Feb 7 A movie that shows the frenetic effect of being a single mother in charge of two young children (her ex-husband does not seem that involved with them). She has a long commute to her job in Paris, and a transit strike plays havoc with her life, jeopardizing her job and her child care situations. The film captures the stressful life of a woman who is effectively a single parent very well. And the lead actress was wonderful in a difficult role that required her presence in every scene! See more sue b @RT96121712 Sep 2 Excellent film that sets the pace from the get-go, whilst also taking us from the dull burbs to the city. Works on multiple levels See more Dusky P @Pteropus Jul 25 Wow, what a movie. This is the best action flick that isn't an action flick, it's a ride that will grasp you, shake you, crumple you and spit on you whilst somehow still manage to please you. Will grip you the first minute and spit you out 90 minutes later never letting go an inch. Definitely a must see movie, with a fantastic performance by the lead actress. 10/10 - and here I thought I'd never give a French film more than 5. Go figure. See more Read all reviews
