An internal affairs officer investigates an incident during the yellow jacket riots in 2018 France where a young man was hit in the face by a police projectile which stattered his skull.
This is a very good look at how the police are viewed and how they investigate their own. We are hooked early and are dragged along with the investigation. Its a mystery of sort that plays bettwer than many actual cinematic mysteries of recent vintage.
The film is absolutely compelling from start to almost finish. What I mean by that while the film lays out the investigation and the characters beautifuly, the film shifts in the final minutes to become a polemic about the police and society. The wind up becomes a less a conclusion than a lecture. While it isn't bad it takes the edge off the satisfaction.
Wobble at the end aside, this is a solid film and worth your time and money.
