Miss Impossible poster

Released in 2017, Miss Impossible is a drama film directed by Émilie Deleuze, running about 90 minutes. “Sophie is good at school and Mum‘s thrilled. Jessica has her boyfriend and, anyway, she‘s Jessica. Me? I dunno. A void. I suck.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. They’re all nuts. Her parents, who want to send her off to boarding school. Her new teacher, who expects her to read impossibly old books. Her fellow band members, who make her sing ridiculous lyrics and dress her up in a frilly white dress for their first show. Everyone seems to know what she should do and how she should act. And it’s not like 13-year-old Aurore has any fundamental problem with changing herself either. Who would want to be like this: unhappy, ugly and emotionally withdrawn? But the others don’t seem all that much happier to her either. She definitely doesn’t ever want to be as old, rundown and lonely as her mother. And so she prefers to stay the way she is, to observe and make her biting comments on whatever comes her way.

Who’s in it. Miss Impossible stars Léna Magnien as Aurore, Patricia Mazuy as Patricia, Philippe Duquesne as Laurent and Catherine Hiegel as Agathe, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.4/10, Miss Impossible has proved divisive with audiences.
