Subtitles... patience (isabelle huppert) is a translator for the french police. When there's a bust, she is brought in to question the prisoners, and to listen in on telephone calls. Right now, she also needs to raise money pronto for her own rent and for her elderly mother. When patience overhears a conversation that is someone she knows, she helps the drug runner hide the hash before the cops get there. Lots of cussing in various languages. Patience keeps taking things further and further... she sets up her own network, and even figures out a way to launder the money with the home-owner association. Sure, we're overlooking a few things, but it's fun to see how far she can go with this scheme. Will she get away with it?? The title on screen at the beginning is la daronne, which really means the mom. Directed by jean paul salome, who also made sitting duck with huppert. It's fun. Zips right along. She's a criminal, but we want her to succeed.

fun french heist
Mama weed
A charming film about time passing by. It's a soft crime movie, don't expect anything Hollywood. This is good actually, because Hollywood fails miserably to deliver a real life picture.
Mama Weed is my recommendation to everyone seeking a cool and witty day movie
Am I living irony as I watch this movie with subtitles?
So many times I wish back in middle school they told us the different interpreter jobs you could have and I would have been super excited. The school system needs iteration.
Elegant indeed.
Lines cross!
You never know what being nice to someone will take you.
The shelter would not use phots with bars!
Something funny about all those drugs and renewable energy in the background.
Those loose bits are going to be a problem later.
How convenient they stack like U1 racks.
They discuss crime so casually with each other before they even know the other is in the know.
Whoa! She's sold a lot already.
Time to quit.
He put a microphone in the flowers.
These are the smart drug dealers. Nice job with the plant... very nice.
