Two strong women—writer/director Justine Triet and Belgian star Virginie Efira—combine their formidable talents in this wonderfully over-the-top melange of farce and romantic comedy tropes. Efira is perfect as our eponymous heroine, a vibrant criminal lawyer and single mother with a disastrous love life. She attends a wedding and soon finds herself caught in a web of increasingly absurd situations involving a former lover (Laurent Poitrenaux) who is blogging about their life together, an ex-drug dealer client (Vincent Lacoste) who wants a lot more from her than just attorney-client privilege, and an old guy friend (the great Melvil Poupaud) who is presently going to require her services for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend…

“A classic working girl rom-com with just enough kookiness to set itself apart… Vivid and colorful, Triet's movie lies somewhere between more femme-centric Woody Allen films and the work of French farce maven Louis de Funes…. offering a portrait of a woman forever on the verge of either a breakdown or an orgasm.” Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
