LES INVISIBLES (Louis-Julien Petit 2018)

And uplifting, hilarious, and over-the-top dramedy about the plight, and empowerment, of homeless women (saved by struggling social workers) in a grim, gray northern French city. The filmmaker did extensive research and used authentic non-actors along with his core team of pros to play the social workers. But unfortunately in striving to avoid miserabilism he gets distracted from the finer details of these lives.
