Like a paper mâché sculpture, _La Lutte des Classes_ (_Class Warfare_ -- my translation) is a work of art, even if it begins to fall apart towards the end.

The story of ultra liberal parents who consider taking their child out of the public school he attends in their lower middle class suburb literally had me like this :joy: in one scene, and like this :grin: throughout.

The story is pertinent and well structured (even if it becomes less interesting when the comedy wanes in the 3rd act), but the real blessing of this film are the two leads. Édouard Baer has yet to make a bad choice in his projects and Leïla Bekhti is a national treasure who hits all of her marks and turns in what is arguably the best performance of her career.

_Class Warfare_ is now over, and the winners are anyone who goes to see this film.
