Plot

After a shoplifter finds herself unexpectedly released on parole, she pays a call on the judge at her flat. The judge, Carole Rewinsky, does not tell Tina that her elease was only a clerical error. The two find they share things in common other than the judicial system, like a mutual interest in shoes. Carole allows Tina to crash on her chesterfield... Carole spots a pimp trolling for young girls at a café. Carole failed to put him away the last time, but now, with Tina agreeing to be the bait, she has a chance for better luck... The two find they complement one another well, like champagne and cassis. Carole needs to go to Annecy to crack a crooked casino case. Annecy happens to be Tina's home town...

Comments

Sibling Revelry The translation of filles uniques can be tricky for the non-French speaker as it means literally only girls in the sense of only children as in 'she is an only child'.With that out of the way we're looking at a very enjoyable romp albeit formulaic - two people from diametrically opposed worlds who somehow forge an alliance, think 'Outrageous Fortune' and you'll get the idea.Everyone involved is on top of their game and if one questions the waste of Vincent Lindon in little more than a cameo role we still savor the class he brings to the party.Richard Dreyfus lookalike Francois Berleand turns in his usual reliable schtick and a good time is had by all.
