Our take
Adapted from reporter Florence Aubenas’s bestselling book, this scathing indictment of France’s gig economy won San Sebastián’s Best European Film award. With Juliette Binoche leading a superb ensemble, Between Two Worlds is an empathetic examination of precarious labour and journalistic ethics.
