Our take
Starring Vincent Lindon as a modern-day Don Quixote crushed under the grind of managerial indifference, Stéphane Brizé’s gritty account of 21st-century welfare bureaucracy cuts close to the bone. Mixing fictional segments with news report footage, At War is a brutal battle cry for labor justice.
