After working for EcoClean -- an industrial cleaning supplies company -- for nearly 17 years, model-employee Inès believes it's time for a raise. Despite daily jibes from her incompetent and misogynistic co-workers (including Patrick, EcoClean's ineffectual owner), she remains professional and dedicated to the company's brand. When Inès confronts Patrick about her salary, he not only disparages her request but makes a lecherous pass at her. New intern Mélody witnesses this and jumps in to help, but in the process both women accidentally find themselves with blood on their hands. Spiraling more out of control by the minute, Inès and Mélody must conjure up increasingly maniacal solutions to cover their tracks -- and clean up their mess.

Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews As important as these issues are, this movie addresses them in the most been-there-done-that manner possible, with the writing feeling like it belongs more in a television sketch than a feature film. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 6, 2024 Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Movie Buff “Employee of the Month” takes a serious issue about toxic office culture and places it under a genre lens. Bloody, mischievous, and comedic, the film manages to get its message across. Rated: B Jul 6, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee This Belgian dark comedy takes a cartoonish approach to its depiction of workplace discrimination and harassment to go along with its cartoonish approach to violence and revenge. Rated: C May 10, 2023 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street Tragically profound and dreadfully hilariously Employee of The Month is the perfect dark comedy for anyone that has ever wanted to strangle their boss with their own necktie. Rated: 7/10 Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz Employee of the Month is not much more than a sketch comedy of loosely linked scenes. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) This goofball French farce sees a public servant hang on to his cushy government job by any means possible when the French government starts slashing their civil service, in a film big on laughs and cultural fun-pokery. Rated: 3/5 Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
