3/4

The film goes from biting satire to broad farce and back as Alain Guiraudie fills it with both social observation and ludicrous incident.

Moment to moment, Nobody’s Hero holds you in thrall because there is no predicting what might transpire or what any of the characters might do.

Picture Warren Beatty’s 1970s political sex farce Shampoo, updated to contemporary France, and you’d get something very like Alain Guiraudie’s Nobody’s Hero.
