Hanrot's first film role came in 2012 in Radiostars, directed by Romain Lévy, in which she plays the younger sister of Manu Payet.[1] She subsequently played minor roles in The New Girlfriend (2013), and Eden (2014).[1] Her breakthrough role came in 2015's Fatima (2015), for which she was awarded the César Award for Most Promising Actress.[3] In the film, directed by Philippe Faucon, she plays Nesrine, a medical student and the daughter of a north-African immigrant, determined to improve her position in life.[3]
