Julie (Laure Calamy, Call My Agent!) is a single mother who can't catch a break. Raising two children in the Paris suburbs and commuting to the city daily, the train is her lifeline -- until it’s suddenly severed by a transit strike. Without the train, Julie struggles to make it in time to her job at a five-star hotel, to the interview for a better job she’s tied her hopes to, or back home to pick up her kids from childcare. Before long, Julie is at her breaking point and as her responsibilities pile up, she finds herself bending the rules to stay afloat in a cutthroat society. Anchored by Calamy’s dynamic performance, Full Time is a race against the clock and a kinetic real world thriller about the obstacles working parents face every day.

"A very impressive thriller. You really do hope for the best. It’s all down hill from the beginning. How can our character manage? There is a frantic pace that is expertly crafted. Wish this included a booklet however the slipcover art is excellent."
"Time flies by!"
"Loved this and this packaging is fantastic"
"Excellent lead performance. Great slipcover and audio commentary by Samm Deighan."
"Run Lola Run if she had a hellish commute, a demanding job and kids. The level of desperation and isolation is equal to that of Two Days, One Night re-engineered as an action film. As high-octane as Speed, only she can’t find a bus to get on. Stress levels that make Uncut Gems seem like a breeze, without any of the over-agitated aesthetics. Features an incredible anxiety-ridden score that pushes, pushes and keeps on pushing. Has a lot to say about middle class desires and frustrations meeting the new working class reality as the gap between the haves and the have nots continues to widen. Hell of a visual grace note in a powerfully acted final moment that cuts to black on the perfect beat."
"Solid release for a fine film. It’s not the most stacked edition and should’ve been more stacked with a booklet at the very least but it does its job at showcasing the film on physical media. Recommended!"
"A thrilling movie"
"Wow. This social realist drama plays like a thriller, what with its breakneck sense of pace and tension. In one of the best performances that I’ve seen in some time, Laure Calamy excels as a downtrodden woman trying to secure work for herself so that she can care for her kid. Eric Gravel does a masterful job of building suspense, and while I didn’t get the version of the Blu-ray with the slipcover, the standard edition looks great and is loaded with bonus features."
"Julie played by Laure Calemy knows how to portray the grind. Sweat, tears, emotionhard unappreciated work all in vain. Her stress is a boulder she pushes up and down the streets of Paris during tumultuous times. Her neighbor and is a big help but she yearns for more, comfort and mistakes his kindness for intimacy, throwing herself at him seemingly ruining her only beacon of help. Things snowball from there, check it out."
"A relentless, breath-catching thriller with a fiercely determined, modern-day heroine/mother. Loved it! The slip design has perfectly complementary energy."
