Director: Noémie Saglio
When her brother is murdered in Hamburg, a fiercely confident French cop refuses to sit on the sidelines of the case in Nice Girls, a 2024 action comedy from France.
What is Nice Girls about?
Léo calls herself the best cop on the Riviera, and she has the swagger to back it up until word arrives that her colleague and brother Ludo has been killed abroad. Determined to chase down the truth herself, she's instead ordered by her superior to step back and let a hotshot German investigator take the lead. Léo has no intention of watching from a distance, so she inserts herself into the case anyway, clashing with procedure, her own chain of command, and a partner who did not ask for company. What follows mixes buddy-cop friction with broad comic set pieces, as two very different styles of policing collide across borders while the real story behind Ludo's death slowly comes into focus.
Cast & crew
Alice Taglioni headlines as Léo, playing the role with the brash energy the part demands, alongside Stéfi Celma and Baptiste Lecaplain rounding out the ensemble. Noémie Lvovsky and Antoine Duléry appear in supporting roles that add texture to the film's mix of crime plotting and comedy.
Context & significance
Director Noémie Saglio built her career in French television comedy before moving into features, and that background shows in the film's rhythm, which favors quick banter and character friction over slow-burn procedural detail. Nice Girls sits within a wave of French genre comedies that pair a cross-border investigation with a mismatched-partner setup, using the culture clash for laughs as much as for plot momentum.
Where & how to watch
Nice Girls streams on K-Time once you sign in with a free account; there's nothing extra to buy to watch it. The title comes with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, and the whole K-Time experience is built around Farsi, making French-language comedies like this one easy to follow for Persian-speaking audiences abroad.
