She ends up spinning far too many plates… Full Time combines a totally plausible realism, to which anyone struggling with their work-life balance can relate, with the breakneck pace of a thriller or action film. The outstanding direction and award-winning editing elicit breathless excitement from everyday activities - think ‘Ken Loach on steroids’!Laure Calamy spent time with Parisian chambermaids in preparation for her role, in particular taking an opportunity to speak with striking maids. This gave her great insight into the demands of the job, and her performance won the Best Actress Award at the 2021 Venice Film Festival (at which Eric Gravel won the Best Director Award). As the consensus view on Rotten Tomatoes reads: "Led by Laure Calamy’s performance, Full Time serves as a sobering reminder that just staying financially afloat can sometimes feel like a white-knuckle thriller."“Full Time is more gripping than most of the recent thrillers I’ve seen.” – Always Good Movies.“This relentless, heart-in-your-throat, ticking-clock thriller about precarious single-motherhood could not be more timely or more intimate. As real, and as recognizably stressful, as the genre gets.” – Flick Filosopher.“The “Mission: Impossible” of mother tales.” – Los Angeles Times.“Full Time is compelling across every time-crunching, jam-packed, stressful day as we await a chance to breathe a sigh of relief alongside Julie, and the undeniably electrifying performance from Laure Calamy provides a spark to each hectic moment.” – Flickering Myth.“One of the most relevant and frightening thrillers of the year. A breathless masterclass in execution, this is cinema at its finest.” – Flick Feast.“Julie’s dilemma is expertly illustrated by both the actor and the director. The film is shot and edited with flawless precision.” – The Australian.“Keeping it all together (just about) is the always terrific Calamy, with a barnstorming performance.” – The Guardian.Voluntary donations - Off the Wall Films is a not-for-profit enterprise.
