Our take
Drawn from real-life events, Elie Wajeman’s nocturnal plunge into the world of drugtrafficking unveils a seedier side of Paris. Unfurling with an adrenaline-pumping intensity reminiscent of the Safdies’ Good Time, this frenetic character study wrestles with personal demons and a desire for change.
