Sinekatalog’s take
Laurent Cantet's drama sends a business-school graduate to intern at his father's factory, where he clashes with the working-class family over layoffs. Understated and sharp, with real workers in the cast, it is a smart study of class.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
