A Real Job

Through very endearing characters, Thomas Lilti delivers a magnificent tribute to the profession of middle school teacher and a very beautiful film, very lively, funny, and full of humanity. – Le Parisien

The film is marked by the blend of humor and tenderness that make Thomas Lilti’s work charming. – 20 Minutes By Caroline Vié

Elliptical, political, and moving. Teachers have never been filmed like this before. – CinemaTeaser By Renan Cros

Avoiding all binary oppositions, “A Real Job” once again benefits from Thomas Lilti’s talent for nuance. His depiction of the national education system is not without hope, but it adapts its direction to a system on the verge of collapse, and to a social commitment of teachers far too taken for granted. An essential film. – Ecran Large By Antoine Desrues

A gallery of touching and often funny portraits. – Elle By Anna Nobili

By capturing the small moments of daily life, the incongruities of the system but also the major challenges of this place of learning, Thomas Lilti succeeds in a clever blend of humor and gravity, with a dream cast, in giving a fair portrayal of this “real job”, often scorned or portrayed in a caricatured manner in cinema. – Franceinfo Culture By Laurence Houot

L’Humanité By Sophie Joubert A film that feels good.

The director has the knack for capturing the whirlwind of a school year, from the September start to the summer holidays. A beautiful film. – Le Point By Jean-Luc Wachthausen
