Paul Marquet [Bastien Bouillon] has been known for years as a promising writer. When publisher [Virginie Ledoyen] rejects the manuscript for his fourth novel, Paul, at 42, must find paid work after all. He signs up with Jobber, a website where tradespeople can auction off their services for the lowest bid. The hard work, life on the brink of poverty, and the people he meets have a major impact on his life. Bouillon’s understated performance leaves it up to viewers to decide how they would feel in Paul’s situation. Donzelli maintains authenticity by filming on location and through seemingly effortless, natural acting from the many people Paul meets. The denouement feels somewhat forced, but Bouillon’s beautiful performance offers sufficient compensation.
