TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
France, (subtitles), 2023, Comedy
104 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Louane Emera, Michel Blanc.

Marie is a young woman who juggles a range of odd jobs to support herself and her father. Despite the precariousness of her income, Marie maintains an positive outlook on life.

But one night, her shift at a café has a string of bad events and she's fired. On top of that, Marie gets fined after a complaint is filed.

In court, Marie begs the judge to waive the fine due to her circumstances. But the Judge refuses to believe her “I’m poor, it’s too late for me” excuse.

Instead, he offers Marie a job as his driver to help her get back on track. It's a chance of a fresh start for Marie and, as she and the judge begin to spend time together and share their stories, she realises there are things a rich and privileged judge can learn about life too.

"A heart-warming film about realising your full potential." - MM reviews
