Director Marc Fitoussi's (Copacabana) female coming-of-age drama for the globalized world journeys into the heart of corporate greed and explores its corrosive impact on our lives. When 14-year-old Anouk takes an internship at her mother's insurance company, she observes the petty cruelties of office life: banal humiliations, gossip, and power games. Yet under the surface lies life-and-death stakes, revealing themselves when Anouk resolves to protect a young Moroccan mother from foreclosure. As she uncovers a web of corporate malfeasance, her own mother is caught in the middle. And unlike Hollywood, no superheroes or saviors come to the rescue, and there are no easy answers. With stand-out performances by top-rated French actress Émilie Dequenne (The Girl on the Train) and ingénue Jeanne Jestin, Mum Is Wrong is a nuanced drama that reminds us that making your way in the world - right or wrong - is less about success than doing whatever it takes to survive.
