A superb exercise in everyday suspense, Full Time is based on the simple premise of a divorced mother trying to get to work on time while raising two kids and attempting to squeeze in the exhausting and dehumanizing ordeal of the corporate interview process. And though there’s not a mask in sight, the added monkey wrench of a national transit strike perfectly distills the chaos and dysfunction of the Covid era. Tautly paced, with a pulsing electronic score and a magnetic performance by Laure Calamy as the single mom with a degree in economics working as a hotel housekeeper to make ends meet, Full Time will hit home for anyone who has been at the end of their rope during a desperate job search. ~LB
