'Films du Qubec', July 31, 2022. The film stars Maripier Morin as Arlette Saint-Amour, a fashion magazine editor who is invited by the Premier of Quebec (Gilbert Sicotte) to join the cabinet as minister of culture despite her lack of political experience; her unconventional approach to politics reinvigorates the public's engagement with arts and culture, but places her in the crosshairs of finance minister Paul Girouard (David La Haye), who wants to cut $100 million from her departmental budget.Isabelle Hontebeyrie, [https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2022/07/30/arlette--jaime-les-gens-qui-nont-pas-peur-de-se-casser-la-gueule---mariloup-wolfe "Arlette : Jaime les gens qui nont pas peur de se casser la gueule - Mariloup Wolfe"].

Production



Morin's casting in her first major starring role since having her career disrupted in 2020 by public accusations of verbal and sexual harassment fueled by cocaine addiction was controversial. Wolfe noted that the film had been in development for several years and Morin had already been cast by a previous director before the allegations became public, and stated that when she took over the project she auditioned several other actresses but felt that Morin was still the right choice.lisabeth Lepage-Boily, [https://showbizz.net/tele/mariloup-wolfe-explique-pourquoi-elle-a-choisi-maripier-morin-pour-le-film-arlette "Mariloup Wolfe explique pourquoi elle a choisi Maripier Morin pour le film Arlette"]. 'Showbizz', August 5, 2022. She further asserted that Morin's status as an actress trying to reestablish her career following a scandal fit in with the film's themes of an ambitious but inexperienced politician butting heads with the establishment.

Many scenes in the film were shot in the real National Assembly of Quebec.Anne-Frdrique Hbert-Dolbec, [https://www.ledevoir.com/culture/cinema/741570/arlette-un-projet-truffe-de-pieges "Arlette, un projet truff de piges"]. 'Le Devoir', August 5, 2022.

Critical response



Annd-Frdrique Hbert-Dolbec of 'Le Devoir' rated the film two and a half stars, writing that it was difficult to separate the film from Morin's public image issues.
