Human Resources (French: Ressources humaines) is a 1999 French-British comedy drama film directed by Laurent Cantet.

[2] As the title implies, the subject of the film is the workplace and the personal difficulties that result from conflicts among management and labour, corporations and individuals.

In Gaillon, Normandy, "good son" Franck returns to his hometown to do a trainee managerial internship in the Human Resources department of the factory where his anxious, taciturn father has worked on the shop floor for 30 years.

It is so beautifully acted that the cast, especially the nonprofessional actors playing the embattled factory workers, seems plucked from the streets of a provincial French town.

"[5] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said it "is a rare film about the class and educational divide that can happen even within families",[6] while Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly called it "a compelling, cant-free drama about clashing class systems and challenged family relationships that's all the more engrossing for its organic, near-documentary style", and gave the film an "A-" grade.
