The Worst Ones (15)

Dir. Lise Akoka & Romane Gueret | 2023 | 99 mins | French with English Subtitles

The challenges of street casting are explored in this drama about a film within a film. 

Directed by Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret, it sees a film crew descend on a working-class French town, with thought-provoking and sometimes darkly funny results. 

Flemish director Gabriel (Johan Heldenbergh) is casting in the suburbs of Boulogne-sur-Mer. His feature is about a pregnant teen and her younger brother, and he is looking for ordinary local residents. 

The neighbours are surprised that he’s only casting “les pires” — what they consider to be the worst ones, or the hoodlums. But there’s raw talent in Lily (Mallory Wanecque) and hot-headed Ryan (Timéo Mahaut).
