Forgive me for this inappropriate tittle, but I couldn't resist the temptation. Well, I think the English title is just as bad. A Unionist would have fit the bill IMHO.
Now, I loved this movie and a fact it was inspired by true events.
I also love that young actress. At times her acting reminded me of an older actress whom I couldn't remember the name. I found the story compelling and tried to convince myself it was a work of fiction to keep enjoying it.
Then I remembered which actress I was reminded of; it was Isabelle Hupper. And why was that? Because that who it was!

Oh, I love Frosty! We've been watching our 3 prefered Whodunit shows; (Vera, Gently, and Frosty) for years and many times the same ones!
Thanx to our failing memory it's often almost like watching them for the first time again!
I was strugling to recover these two episodes featuring Robert Glenister (As Terrence Reid) Asking AI, saying it was about a DC Sergeant having had some award in combat and falling out of grace... AI came up with "Soldiers"! Unable to recognise that actor in it I kept going at it and found it in "Benefit of the doubt Part 1 & 2.
I enjoyed these episodes very much. I love the special human relationship 'Terry' had with 'Frost', yet both remain professional. Frost, like Vera have peculiar ethical standards beside their professionalism; Unlike Gently who's ... Very different than M Shaw in 'Juge John Deed' (That I stopped watching once I saw him in Gently... I never mix 'savouries' and 'desserts'!)

I learned to love Daniel Auteuil starting with Jean de Florette. So I was quite keen to see this one.
I see here 6 reviews and I deduct from it that this film has not really created something that you'd never forget.
4 of us all over 70 (and the rest for some) had problems to keep awake during its early part.
However I did derive some interest from it as it went.
But something annoyed me a little about it. The writen information of it seemed to differ as they gave different versions like of what was to come. I thought the main character was a defence layer who felt bad having had a case where he let a guilty client go free, so became a prosecutor, but later a friend of his got him to take his defence... The other annoying thing about it is that It supposes to be based on a true event. But I could not find any information about this true event. I would have appreciated to see how, if any, liberty had been taken with the fiction. I can't see the point of telling us that it's based on true event if we can not find anything about the real story.
I was also a littel amuse to read some study about it that mentioned "Le Fils" This spelling becomes 'The son' because it is a quirk of the language. The S is silent so it sounds just like The fil when it is pronounced but Le Fils is not the thread!
