Aside from being a rather savage indictment of the low cost airline business, this is really a waste of just about everyone else's talent. Adèle Exarchopoulos is a diligent flight attendant who saunters through life flying from place to place, having a few meaningless hook-ups, and generally realising that nobody cares less. It's very much a live for today mentality. That becomes even more clear when her bosses want to switch her to a limited contract, then switch her base and finally demote her after she breaches company policy by actually caring for a distressed passenger. The problem is it's too aptly titled. I didn't give any either. I wasn't remotely bothered about her problems amidst an environment of colleagues who would have made Janus look trustworthy. That's partly the fault of some really lacklustre acting here, but also of some equally dull writing. There's virtually no humour and her repetitive lifestyle is all too effectively replicated on screen. It might be an interesting job to do but it isn't an interesting job to watch someone do. Passengers can be absolute morons on aircraft, so perhaps it could be edited down and shown instead of the safety video at the start of a flight? Otherwise it's all a bit like a soap opera with wings - only these ones flap about too much. It's too long, too...
