Premise

After the death of her mother in a car accident, Cassandre turns her back on her past: she leaves her father and sister in Huy and becomes a flight attendant for a low-cost carrier based in Lanzarote. Seemingly blasé and giving little thought to her future, at 26 she lives day-to-day drifting through work, living together with the staff on call, partying in nightclubs, and having brief encounters with strangers from dating apps.

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 95% based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 7/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "With bleak humor, Adèle Exarchopoulos takes us on an airborne Zero Fucks Given tour as she tries to outrun grief subconsciously propelled by her desire to live."[7] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 77 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[8]

Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter praised Marre and Lecoustre's depiction of Cassandre's "ruthless hyper-[capitalist]" working life and commended Exarchopoulos's performance, writing, "Even when we're stuck with Cassandre in the same routine, the film remains engrossing because of how committed Exarchopoulos is to her role, putting on way too much makeup so she can resemble the perfect Wing stewardess."[9]
