Storyline

After a shoplifter finds herself unexpectedly released on parole, she pays a call on the judge at her flat. The judge, Carole Rewinsky, does not tell Tina that her elease was only a clerical error. The two find they share things in common other than the judicial system, like a mutual interest in shoes. Carole allows Tina to crash on her chesterfield... Carole spots a pimp trolling for young girls at a café. Carole failed to put him away the last time, but now, with Tina agreeing to be the bait, she has a chance for better luck... The two find they complement one another well, like champagne and cassis. Carole needs to go to Annecy to crack a crooked casino case. Annecy happens to be Tina's home town...

User Reviews

Pierre Jolivet at his very best

"Filles uniques" is a french movie that tell us the meeting of two women, a judge and a shoes shoplifter and their unlikely friendship. With this simple start, Pierre Jolivet describe with high accuracy some of the problems of these women like for example the relations between Carole and her husband (wonderful Vincent Lindon). The movie is also a comedy and this is a fine one with funny situations and dialogs thanks notably to the talent of the two main actresses, Sylvie Testud and Sandrine Kibelain who are both wonderful, as usual i could say. The first part of the movie is excellent : funny and clever. The sequence in Annecy is a little less interesting but still okay. Despite this, i highly recommend to see "Filles uniques" and all the movies of Pierre Jolivet which has never disappointed me.
