The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 75 minutes.
What it is about
At the Comédie-Française, there is one golden rule: the play is never cancelled. Unfortunately for Nina, everything else is—just three hours before the premiere of her first staging. An actor is stuck on a train, tensions explode, equipment breaks down, egos clash, and panic sets in. With no way out and time slipping away, Nina must hold the show together at all costs. Will she make it until the curtain rises?
What to expect
Nina is about to stage her first production at the Comédie-Française when, three hours before curtain, everything that can go wrong does. An actor is stuck on a train, equipment breaks, and the dressing-room atmosphere curdles. The house rule is that the show is never cancelled, so she has to drag it over the line. Co-directors Bertrand Usclat and Martin Darondeau keep the chaos confined to backstage corridors and quick-fire exchanges, with Pauline Clément carrying the strain as Nina and Laurent Stocker, Julien Frison, Marina Hands, and Benjamin Lavernhe filling out the panicking company. At 75 minutes it does not outstay its welcome. The movie opens in Hong Kong on 10 October 2026, playing in French with English subtitles only. No rating has been published yet; as a comedy it is likely to land at a lower certificate, but confirm nearer the date. Expect a limited release rather than a wide multiplex run, so check listings carefully.
