New Showbiz Analysis

En même temps succeeds in challenging traditional power structures by empowering feminist activists. Instead of a typical male-driven political drama, the film uses these women to expose the contradictions of established leadership. While the film excels in cultural critique and gender empowerment, it remains limited in its explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities and racial diversity. The focus on a localized ecological conflict keeps the scope narrow. Overall, the film is a sharp social satire that uses unconventional character studies to challenge institutional structures, even if certain demographic categories remain unaddressed.

Official Synopsis

On the eve of a vote to greenlight the construction of a leisure centre where a primal forest currently stands, an unashamedly right-wing mayor sets out to trap his ecologist opponent. But both will end up being outwitted by a group of feminist activists who will confront the two men with their own contradictions, once and for all.
