strong movie on how women battle everyday of their life

We follow the daily lives of French women who prostitute themselves in Belgium to make ends meet. The film is very moving. It's a slice of the daily lives of these women, each with their own personal, domestic or family problems, their problems of precariousness, but also with their common problems linked to their activities as sex workers in Belgium, sometimes the two coming together.The dramaturgy may not be subtle, but that wasn't necessarily obvious. The actresses are formidable, Sara Forestier and Noémie Lvosky in the lead, but also Annabelle Lengronne in a moving character. It's a perfect example of dramatic comedy. Comedy, because we smile regularly. And dramatic, because these characters are constantly confronted with elements in their lives that disrupt their ambitions. They fight to get out of their situation and make a better life for themselves. The script regularly integrates small societal elements that disrupt everyday life.All in all, a fine piece of work by Frédéric Fonteyne and Anne Paulicevich that avoids the sordid while not hiding much.

You Think Your Life is Hard

Working Girls, or Filles de Joie, is a brilliant Belgian film which gives us an insight into the world of three women who are doing what they have to in order to make their way through life.None of them has it easy and, just like all of us, they have things in their private lives that they battle behind closed doors.This film is about the close bond between three working girls, Axelle, Conso, and Dominique, and the private misery each of them is dealing with in their personal lives.The three lead actresses are beyond amazing and turn in gritty performances that both mesmerise and pull you slowly in until by the end of the film you feel you know them intimately.I was recommended this film by a mate and now I want to recommend it to as many people as possible. It's an intimate slice of life that shines a light on the lives of a sometimes forgotten group of people.And all the while you are reminded that working girls are indeed people.
