For context, Adèle Haenel has decided to interrupt her career to protest against cinema's complacency toward sexual offenders as well as cinema's cooperation with capitalism.

It offers a clear answer to her silence of the recent years (after Polanski won Best Director)

I think the existence of the poll suggestion speaks for itself. Otherwise, polls should be distanced from politics, at least it is what I have always defended. So, that is why I do not give more context in the poll's description. But, for the sake of transparency, and knowing that some users here are not accustomed to international cinema, I felt compelled to write the earlier note at the intention of those who publish polls. 

In sum, I just wanted to warn that the poll may trigger people with different political opinions.

Providing the context is good and appreciated, Maxence. On the other hand, capitalists may be put somewhat on alert by this, yet that probably has no bearing on the woman's skills as an actress. I'm not sure that I'm aware of the extent "cinema's complacency toward sexual offenders", so that might be something worthwhile for me to try to research. Thus far, as I've understood it, most of these gropers, rapists and child molesters work behind the scenes as casting directors and other staff, and like any organization (literally any), the executive leadership covers for them, trying to prevent the public from being alerted.

I would probably have to pick one of her two collaborations with Céline Sciamma, since I've had minimal exposure to the other works in which she appeared, and strictly speaking, among these movies, I've only seen Naissance des pieuvres, but maybe I will check out some of the others that are available through AMC, Tubi, Plex, Crackle or so.
