Famed author Marianne Winckler (Juliette Binoche) goes undercover to investigate the exploitation of the working class in Northern France. She eventually lands a job as a cleaner on the cross-channel ferry and develops close connections with the other cleaning women, many of whom have extremely limited resources and income opportunities. As she learns more about the plight of these workers, Marianne struggles with her deception towards them and tries to rationalize that it's for the greater good.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 01/11/2024
On the one hand, it's a kind of Ken Loach-like exploration... but it's also, and I think more interestingly, about somebody pretending to be someone they're not. Go to Full Review Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com 08/28/2023
It’s never a waste of time to watch Juliette Binoche, and this film, which screened at Cannes in the spring, is definitely worth seeing. Between Two Worlds is both credible and absorbing. Go to Full Review Mark Jenkins Washington Post 08/15/2023
2.5/4
Between Two Worlds is freshest when it emphasizes its documentary-like qualities, such as the brief inserts of everyday scenes and locales shot by Philippe Lagnier without any guidance from the director. Go to Full Review Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle 07/05/2024
Emmanuel Carrère might not fully clear the bar he set with his first feature, but he does prove himself a flexible filmmaker, able to adapt his style to the individual project. Go to Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 11/02/2023
2/4
Overall, although Between Two Worlds is sincere enough, it has a rather tepid, unadventurous character. The subject matter is worthwhile, but the film is hardly ground-breaking. Go to Full Review Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras 10/28/2023
