Wingwomen () is a 2023 French action comedy film directed by Mélanie Laurent, who also stars alongside Adèle Exarchopoulos and Manon Bresch. Adapted from the graphic novel La Grande Odalisque by Jérôme Mulot, Florent Ruppert, and Bastien Vivès, the movie was distributed by Netflix and premiered on 1 November 2023.

Plot

Carole (Mélanie Laurent) and Alex (Adèle Exarchopoulos) are thieves under the employ of a mysterious figure known as The Godmother (Isabelle Adjani). Upon learning she is expecting a child, Carole chooses to leave the criminal life. While staying at a hidden sanctuary, they come under assault by mercenaries dispatched by The Godmother. When Carole confronts her former employer, The Godmother threatens an innocent person to coerce Carole’s return.

The duo enlists Sam, a recently widowed race car driver, as their getaway driver for one final robbery. Although initially hesitant, Alex gradually forms a bond with Sam, who discovers Carole and Alex have shared a long-standing partnership since their youth.

The heist concludes successfully, but Carole instructs Alex to eliminate The Godmother. When law enforcement arrives at the scene, Carole encourages Alex to surrender in pursuit of genuine freedom and is fatally wounded. Sam assists Alex in fleeing.

Four years later, Sam locates Alex, who has left her criminal past behind. Expecting a concluding assignment, Alex instead learns that Carole is alive and living secretly with her daughter Raoule—named by Alex.
