Julien Hallard directs Max Boublil, Vanessa Guide and Carole Franck in this sports comedy about the formation of France’ first female football team in 1969.

A League of Their Own, this is not. Dated attitudes, tropes and jokes. All smother a potentially decent story. Biggest crime of all – the main character is a man, the only character with some shading, agency and arc. The creators intentions are to produce something light and fluffy, the politics behind it betray a misjudged understanding of where the world now is.
