After a fantastic premiere two weeks ago in Angoulême and an even bigger premiere in Paris, the film has been released Contact my agent! The film has finally gone global on Netflix, in what looks to be the highlight of the French 2026 lineup. But will the return of creator Fanny Herrero turn this hit series into a great movie? Here’s what we offer – no commission fees.

In essence, Contact my agent! It has always been a story of resilience in the face of personal and professional events that threaten to swallow their personalities whole. For this reason, at the end of the fourth and final season, when rival agent Elise (Anne Mariven) She joined the ranks of ASK to solve financial problems, but succeeded in blowing it up from the inside, leaving a bad note among viewers. The final sequence, in which all the main characters talk about their possible futures over a final drink, led to a five-year development hell. Now, creator Fanny Herrero He was called back to develop this reunion film – with a co-writer Leeson Daniel And the director Emily Nobletwhere all the main characters are back and with a strong hook: former ASK agent Andrea Martell (Camille Cottin) is just a few weeks away from shooting her first film as writer-director, with an all-star cast including Laurent Lafitte and Laetitia Casta. But the perfect storm would soon collapse, as Laurent Lafitte dropped out due to scheduling issues, while Andrea spent five years perfecting the role for him.

The original show always had to balance vaudeville comedy, usually with incisive remarks from hotheaded agent Hervé (Nicola Mori) and the dead-end signature of Camille Cottin Like Andrea. A turbulent and emotional life – embodied in the relationship between Matthias (Thibaut de Montalembert) and Noemi (Lor Calamy); And managing the unpredictable filmmaking, quirks, and demands of the stars that ASK represents. All of these components were explosive, threatening to explode in the face of the show at any moment… and they did on occasion, depending on the arc. But the show is back on its feet and Herrero manages to make it through the two hours by providing a focused version of what the show and characters are capable of. For better or worse, it does so by marginalizing the group and focusing on two opposing characters who must team up: Andrea, whose battles and obvious exhaustion will only strengthen her resolve and determination; And Noémie, the professional but eternally optimistic and sentimental producer, who offers herself to save Andrea’s film.

Where does the film go from here, plot-wise? It’s a mixed bag, and we won’t spoil it too badly. Suffice it to say, by an unfortunate coincidence, the lead was replaced Vincent McCain (He brings his accent and funny personality to the film, in an environment that may expose one of France’s finest talents to a new global audience.) He has more than his fair share of complaints with his co-star. Laetitia Casta. From there, Contact my agent! The movie He embarks on a spiral of “nightmare shooting” sequences, which are occasionally entertaining but overall a letdown; It also throws some side twists Noémie’s way in a very brutal way. If Andrea’s personality is stretched to the extreme, Lor CalamyNoémie’s natural charisma and skilled delivery have a hard sell on where Noémie goes when she’s on the ropes.

But when flaws for the sake of spectacle threaten to derail the project into distasteful territory Entourage/Sex and the City films, Contact my agent! Rely on MVPs to focus the essence of feeling good. Behind the camera are composers Loic Dory and Christoph Minkwhich brings great references and familiar themes to the project, including a soaring, cinematic version of the title song. Newcomer to the show Emily Noblet It engages in heavy dialogue Contact my agent! Fairly smooth, and subtly shines through some charming sequences and the warmer color palette of the (mostly) Paris-based plot. Finally, we have Hervé (Nicola Mori), the introduction of which may serve as the fourth funniest wall-breaking moment in the entire film; and veteran agent Arlette. as, Lillian Rover He gives the film’s most emotional performance — and perhaps its biggest revelation, which we won’t spoil. While Andrea and Noemi show character growth, the group is still going strong Contact my agent! He lands on his feet, and he’s not above cutting corners or going into cartoonish tunes.

Lor Calamy

It’s a bit difficult to take a comedic character and develop them into a ruthless professional, but Laure Calamy manages to do it over the course of the original series. Now, as Noémie plays a firefighter on a sailing venture and tries to reconcile with the famously prickly Andréa, Calamy fully incorporates her into the new and improved Noémie, showing character growth. Sure, some of her reactions and side quests may veer too far from the caricature, but Calami shows why she’s been one of the most in-demand actresses in French cinema since the end of the show.

Judgment

Celebrity inscriptions and abbreviations be damned, Contact my agent! Nothing without his collection. Here, he exploits the fast-paced dialogue and ridiculous circumstances like a seasoned pro; Even if some brief roles and thin tropes remain in doubt, there’s still plenty of life as Andrea Martel steps into the spotlight. And as producers recently teased, this could be the beginning of another era, if Netflix subscribers demand it.
