le petit lieutenant

After finishing the police academy, Antoine goes to Paris to join the second division of judicial police. Caroline Vaudieu returns back to the service after overcoming her alcoholism, and chooses the young lieutenant for her group. Full of enthusiasm, Antoine learns this trade with his fellow men. Vaudieu quickly becomes attached to this young man because he is the same age her missing son would have been.

Movie critics

"Xavier Beauvois finds a miraculous balance between a thriller and a social chronicle. He gives us a disenchanted work, with great tone correction, intense and exciting, that lasts for a long time."—Mcinéma 

“This event gives way to an intimate drama. Unexpected, fair and touching.”—Première

"Nathalie Baye brings an overwhelming humanity to her character. His last look, facing the camera, is one that we do not forget."—TéleCineObs
