In the movie “Late Shift,” Leonie Benesch portrays Floria. Known for her piercing gaze and rigid posture, this German actor has recently made a strong impact in roles such as the embattled educator in “The Teachers’ Lounge” and the calm translator in “September 5.” Her casting in this film implies that she is becoming a preferred choice for characters who must balance internal chaos with a facade of professional competence. Volpe’s script mirrors the chaos of a hospital, filled with diverse life-or-death storylines. However, it’s Benesch’s performance that adds a layer of tension to the film, as viewers are left guessing when her character’s stiff demeanor will crack under pressure. This compelling and marketable Swiss-German production is expected to gain commercial success due to Benesch’s rising fame, following its premiere at the Berlinale.

In most families, it’s typically the adults who are in control, watching over their children’s actions and selectively disclosing information. However, in the intriguing concept put forth by writer-director Frédéric Hambalek, this conventional dynamic is flipped on its head. Instead, a young girl mysteriously gains power over her parents, acting as their moral compass, confidant, and eventual reflection of their true natures. This story can be both amusing and unsettling, making it potentially appealing to audiences beyond Germany (where the film debuted in competition at the Berlin Film Festival). Despite some unresolved issues, Hambalek’s idea certainly has potential.
The film serves as a sequel to Bourboulon’s dual-installment action series “The Three Musketeers,” which were both manufactured by Chapter 2 and Pathé and achieved significant success at the French box office, along with being distributed in numerous international markets.
