Wingwomen (2023)

I fell in love with Adèle Exarchopoulos, she is very, very beautiful

[9/10 · 13 November 2023]

However if you are happy with some action, some laughs and what is essentially a female buddy movie there is a lot to enjoy. The opening set piece sets the tone nicely with exciting action and some humor. We then get some solid character development as Carole and Alex team up with Sam and meet other associates. Finally we get the heist and a conclusion with a twist. The action varies nicely with Carole and Alex fleeing armed drones on a quad-bike; Alex and Sam racing through narrow streets and paths on a motorbike; plenty of shooting and even Alex in hand to hand combat with a naked assassin! The movie isn't particularly violent; a fair number of bad guys get shot but our protagonists prefer to use tranquiliser darts against non-criminals. This action takes place in an interesting variety of settings; mostly on Corsica. The cast does a good job; most obviously Mélanie Laurent as Carole; Adèle Exarchopoulos as Alex and Manon Bresch as Sam. Mélanie Lauren also did an impressive job as the film's director. Overall a fun movie for those looking for a crime drama that doesn't take itself too seriously.
