All to Play For / Rien à Perdre
Documentary filmmaker Delphine Deloget’s feature-length fiction debut is a social drama that explores the challenges of the French legal and administrative system with powerful emotional intensity. Widow Sylvie (Virginie Efira) lives in Brest with her two children, Sofiane and Jean-Jacques. One night, Sofiane is injured while alone at the apartment. Social services are alerted and the child is placed in a foster home while they carry out an investigation. Convinced that she is the victim of a miscarriage of justice, Sylvie must fight maddening labyrinthine bureaucracy to get her son back. Efira is reliably excellent in this ultimately moving film.
