Léa Drucker is currently starring in A Man on the Run, sharing the bill with Bastien Bouillon. Released in theaters on May 8, the feature film takes us to Rochebrune, which is on the verge of chaos. Johnny, leader of the city’s protest movement, disappeared after robbing a van.
When Paul Ligre hears the news, he returns to the town where he grew up to find his childhood friend before the police. However, Anna Werner’s investigation inevitably leads her to the secret that unites Paul and Johnny.
On the occasion of the cinema release of this thriller by Baptiste Debraux, we look at Léa Drucker’s filmography to find her best film. To find it, you have to take a small leap in time to 2018. That year, Until the Guard was released, a work created by Xavier Legrand.
The story presents us with the Besson couple, in the middle of a divorce. To protect her son from a father she accuses of violence, Miriam (Léa Drucker) requests sole custody. The judge in charge of the case grants shared custody to the father (Denis Ménochet) whom she considers violated. Taken hostage between his parents, Julien will do everything to prevent the worst from happening.
Rated 4.1 out of 5 (average of 5,965 ratings), this is the best film with Léa Drucker. The latter was awarded a Caesarean for her performance in 2019. A large majority of spectators rated Up to the Guard between 4 and 5 stars.
What do the spectators think?
“We remain paralyzed to see such fair, sober actors, in an extremely difficult composition (Léa Drucker and Denis Ménochet), bring us to a sensitive and delicate subject, whose outcome is sometimes dramatic. A strong film, a sort of frozen and terribly authentic testimony with obvious impact, which we can only be moved, overwhelmed and for a long time!”confides BenoitG80.
According to Angelo F, “this film is so stunning that it hits the guts and turns out to be true. A real punch; you leave the theater completely stunned and upset.” Laure D explains having “took a big slap; it was a strong moment rich in emotions, you will not come away indifferent.”

The best of French cinema?
For Argol, “the direction of the actors is extremely accurate, and the performers all have a dramatic power that impresses. The most disturbing is the little boy who plays Julien, the child who finds himself at the heart of the turmoil. C “is the best of French cinema, elegant, powerful, universal.”
According to Madmartigan, To the hilt is a “terrific film. The script is impeccable. The actors are magnificent, including all the supporting roles, which is too rare. A perfect cinematographic form for a first feature film. No ambiguity on the roles of each person for a very delicate subject. From the first scene, the film places us as judge and the tension rises inexorably.”
A modern masterpiece?
Carlos Stins is also won over: “There is ultimately not much to say about Up to the Guard as the film is perfect and even resembles a modern masterpiece. Xavier Legrand’s direction is absolutely grandiose, the young filmmaker managing to establish from the first moments an unhealthy atmosphere which never fades. Each shot has meaning and helps to illustrate the intelligence of the scenario.
If you haven’t yet seen Up to the Guard, the film is available on Blu-ray/DVD and VOD!
