Synopsis
Cassandre, 26, is a flight attendant for a low-cost airline. Based in Lanzarote, she’s always willing to take on extra hours and carries out her duties with robotic efficiency. On the side, she just goes with the flow and floats between Tinder, parties and lazy days. When she suddenly gets dismissed, she is forced to return home.

There is an Albanian guy in this, handsome enough to get easily mistaken for Oscar Issac, that has our national hero's symbol tattooed on his deltoid and is showing Klajdi Haruni's music (stay away from it, I'm not recommending) to Adèle's character right after they've had sex: I felt proud for a moment, then, after I processed it well, I felt terrible.
This film was an on-a-whim pick. I didn't know much about it other than it got received well by those first few critics that reviewed it. And while I usually would wait for the film to get filtered through a more substantial audience before seeing it, I read that Adèle plays a stewardess here, and I thought, "There's no need to wait: This is cinema for the soul."
So, the movie is a debut, but it doesn't feel like one. This film leaves the impression that it is a work by a filmmaker several-films-in. It is well-studied, strong in theme, and relevant in what it's saying. Now, this last doesn't fall under my criteria for judging a film. That said, it's nice to see relevance if portrayed through compelling cinematic language. Yet, even though this is an impressive debut, not everything runs smoothly in it. The movie seems to stretch a bit during its third act, and it can be a chore to sit through, but at least we are watching Adèle all the time, so that easies a lot. And coming to Adèle, she's so good at casual acting. I believe she got to improvise a lot here because her performance feels natural and genuine. 'Zero Fucks Given' is a realistic look at contemporary life, the insecurities that come during your twenties, dealings with a past tragedy, the many empty hours spent on Tinder, all tackled with a profound sense of sympathy and care.
