Call My Agent! The Movie review – the gang get back together and c’est formidable

The Guardian · 2 hours ago

The Guardian gives a positive review to Call My Agent! The Movie, the film spin-off of the acclaimed French TV series about a Parisian talent agency, praising it as a rare example of a small-screen-to-film adaptation that succeeds. Originally launched in 2015, the show found international success via Netflix and inspired remakes across Europe and Asia; several cast members, notably Camille Cottin and Laure Calamy, have since become major stars in their own right, and the sequel wisely centres its plot on their characters five years after the series ended.

Set five years after the finale, the film reunites the original ASK talent agency ensemble as Andréa (Cottin) and Noémie (Calamy) collaborate on Andréa's directorial debut, with returning castmates including Thibault de Montalembert, Grégory Montel and Nicolas Maury, alongside celebrity cameos from Laetitia Casta, Vincent Macaigne and George Clooney. The review notes the comedy loses some momentum in its middle section but regains its stride once chaos hits the film-within-the-film's production, and credits the writing and directing team for keeping the industry humour sharp without tipping into self-congratulation. Call My Agent! The Movie is released on Netflix on 10 September.
