Employee of the Month

[Screens Oct. 13 at 9 p.m. during the Screamfest® Festival that runs Oct. 11-20 at the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles; for information, log on to screamfestla.com.] Véronique Jadin's engaging, delightfully entertaining, absolutely hilarious, superbly acted, well-paced, 78-minute, 2021 dark comedy in which a divorced, underpaid, fed-up, veteran Belgian secretary (Jasmina Douieb), who has loyally worked for 17 years for her unappreciative, sexist, exploitive, embezzling manager (Peter Van den Begin) at a company that sells household cleaning supplies, takes advantage of the situation when her boss accidentally ends up dead to get rid of a few more employees (Alex Vizorek, Laurence Bibot, and Philippe Grand'Henry) with the reluctant help of her newly hired accounting intern (Laetitia Mampaka) while a pregnant financial inspector (Ingrid Heiderscheidt), who reports to her clueless, hair-primping boss Philippe Résimont, suspects shenanigans with the firm's books.
