Polisse (FR, 2011)

A photographer joins the Child Protection Unit (CPU) in North Paris, becoming exposed to some hard cases. This more of a reference point than a central character (no pics are ever seen), she's just one in a cast of tens, of whose professional and domestic/love lives we attain some glimpses.

A solid, realistic, policier drama (reminiscent in tone perhaps of Le Petit Lieutenant) with a frequently difficult subject matter. The ending is a little sudden and puzzling. A significantly better outing than Maiwenn's cringeworthy Pardonnez-moi, and... another good French film.
