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.

2.5/5

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.

“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.

C

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.

7/10

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.

2.5/5

Employee of the Month is not much more than a sketch comedy of loosely linked scenes.

3/5

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.
