The Godmother (aka Mama Weed)

 An unusual Huppert movie in that she's somewhat overwhelmed by circumstances early in the film - a widowed Arabic translator whose financial struggles to keep her mother in a decent nursing home find relief when she finds a connection between her mother's lovely nurse and the subject of a police investigation. Huppert is not normally an actress who appears to particularly care how likably she comes across, so this kind of charming caper movie is a delightful diversion in her filmography- full of twists and turns. It is very much a "safe for your mum" drug dealing movie, but that's no bad thing in my book
