Living out of a backpack, Julie spends her days jumping from job to job until she's finally offered a temporary stockroom job at a women's luxury shoe factory. After making friends with the boss's spunky receptionist Sophie and the ever-charming factory truck driver Samy, Julie thinks the hard times are behind her. But Julie's dreams of stability collapse when management threatens to close down the factory. As her intrepid group of female colleagues get together to go on strike, Samy and the other truck drivers decide to side with the company's scheming CEO. Julie must choose whether to keep a low profile (and a shot at permanent employment) or to resist and fight back on the picket line. [Monument Releasing]… Expand

Footnotes isn’t perfect, but at least nobody lectured me about jazz. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

The delightful “Footnotes” is grounded in reality, light on its feet, with just enough intrigues, betrayals and twists to fill 80 brisk minutes with minor delights. Read full review

Justin Lowe

Writer-directors Calori and Testut have selected a significant challenge for their first feature, which succeeds more on its charm and determination than the classic attributes of movie musicals. Read full review

Keith Watson

The ending cheapens its main character and weakens the film's firm commitment to the importance of workplace organizing. Read full review

The songs are unmemorable and the choreography less than twinkle-toed, but the lyrics are a delight. Read full review

Kristen Yoonsoo Kim

Jul 13, 2017

Though it’s not without charming moments, this story of women standing up to the big bad guys is diminished by unimpressive song-and-dance numbers that feel like Michel Legrand throwaways. Read full review

The performers get their jobs done without leaving much of an impression. In terms of who or what Footnotes can win over, I think only hardcore Francophiles will find its charms genuinely compelling. Read full review
