True Enough

Anne is a woman approaching middle age who struggles to balance a high-pressure career as a television presenter with the demands of home life. She wants to be fair to her family but finds time slipping away as work consumes long hours, public scrutiny and workplace politics. Her colleagues and friends face similar strains, so the film follows a group of interconnected people trying to keep personal relationships intact while careers pull them in different directions. Small moments of humor and tension reveal how ambition, routine and emotional fatigue alter decisions and relationships, and the picture stays grounded in everyday details rather than big plot twists. Anne's public role adds a layer of performance to private struggles.

True Enough was released in 2007, directed by Sam Karmann from a concept by Jérôme Beaujour. The French drama features Karin Viard, André Dussollier and François Cluzet, supported by Brigitte Catillon and Julie Delarme, portraying colleagues and family members on-screen.

Box office figures and budget aren't widely reported, so the film appears to have had a limited commercial footprint beyond French theatrical runs and later television or home video circulation, often touring festivals and later appearing on cable or streaming.

While it didn't enter wide popular culture, True Enough prompted modest discussion in France about work-life balance and the pressures of media jobs. Its realistic domestic scenes have kept it relevant for viewers interested in interpersonal drama. Filmmakers and TV professionals have mentioned its realistic studio sequences in interviews occasionally.

Critics and audiences were mixed, with an average rating around 5.15 out of 10 based on 13 votes. The film centers on aging, professional strain, family obligations and choices that reshape relationships, leaning on intimate performances instead of plot mechanics. Viewer reactions often focused on the acting and domestic detail.
