This movie was packed with content/scenes and may come across as disjointed by some views. I had no problem following it. WingWoman does convey female empowerment, strength, independance, interdependance, and promoted family of choice setup in a matter-of-fact manner. More importantly, it confirmed the layered dynamics of female to female relationships that are uniquely different from male-to-male friendships. So fellas, you may not have gotten much from it as there were no major male characters and/or may not have recognized the unique dynamics of female relationships and mutual support/care. While I liked the ending scene (and many other scenes), it did leave much to our imagination. There were nuanced romantic messages imbeded in at least two statements from Carole to Alex. Overall, the movie was well directed with excellent acting, with enough action and skill. Good simple humor moderating relationships.

Aside from the picturesque landscapes and great choices of film/background score, all in all this is a fun movie to watch with not much violence and gore. Boosting with female power, charisma, humor, loyalty and friendship, the bond and chemistry between Alex and Caroule were greatly portrayed that I wish I can be the Sam in their lives. The script and witty comeback exchanges between the characters were also funny and relatable. Watching this will make you want to have what they have. Though there were some plotholes, the movie did not veer off from it's story. And yes, I did shed a tear at the ending.

This film deserves much more than the current rating, I've seen some pretty poor films over my time around a 5 rating on here and they have been absolutely awful.

Whilst this won't win any awards it will keep you entertained for a couple hours, assuming that is, you don't watch it dubbed. Films should be watched in their native language to get a true grip of the actors and characters, when you flip from English dub to French it's already worth 2 extra stars, which is why I guess some of the other reviews are low.

This film is interesting in terms of the plot, not a typical action film but plenty of action in it. It's more the storytelling round the characters that makes it much more of an all round watch.

I thought all roles were played well and there is no awkward acting throughout, which you'd expect from a mid table movie.

Carole and Alex are a pair of thieves. They decide that it is time to retire but their employer, 'The Godmother' has other ideas and pressures them into taking 'one last job'. They are to steal a painting from and exhibition on Corsica. Before they can do the job they must recruit a driver, Sam. Sam will also need to be taught how to shoot before they are ready to do the job. Inevitably there will be complications.

If you go into this expecting full on action you are likely to be disappointed. However if you are happy with some action, some laughs and what is essentially a female buddy movie there is a lot to enjoy. The opening set piece sets the tone nicely with exciting action and some humour. We then get some solid character development as Carole and Alex team up with Sam and meet other associates. Finally we get the heist and a conclusion with a twist. The action is nicely varies with Carole and Alex fleeing armed drones on a quad-bike; Alex and Sam racing through narrow streets and paths on a motorbike; plenty of shooting and even Alex in hand to hand combat with a naked assassin! The film isn't particularly violent; a fair number of bad guys get shot but our protagonists prefer to use tranquiliser darts against non-criminals. This action takes place in an interesting variety of setting; mostly on Corsica. The cast does a good job; most obviously Mélanie Laurent as Carole; Adèle Exarchopoulos as Alex and Manon Bresch as Sam. Mélanie Lauren also did an impressive job as the film's director. Overall a fun film for those looking for a crime drama that doesn't take itself too seriously.

These comments are based on watching the film in French with English subtitles.

It's not an action movie, actually, it has very little to do with action, it's a funny and enjoyable movie about love and friendship.

There are flaws and holes in the plot in my opinion and some parts could have been written better, it seems to me that the movie is a little bit static throughout all of its duration, there are not major plot twists, I don't know... I didn't mind it but it didn't convinced me 100% neither, it's not bad, but it's also not good, it's enjoyable and the actresses are really good in their roles, mostly watched for them, they really did an amazing job.

I know that the robbery was not the main subject in the movie but I wouldn't have mind it if they put some more action during that scenes Still, it's worth watching.
