SYNOPSIS
When André (André Dussollier) contacts his adult daughter, Emmanuèle, (Sophie Marceau) with a devastating final wish, she is forced to reconcile her past with him, in François Ozon’s powerful family drama. André (André Dussollier) has never been the easiest of fathers. But when he suffers a debilitating stroke and calls on his daughter Emmanuèle (Sophie Marceau) to help him die with some dignity, she finds herself faced with a painful decision. When Emmanuèle’s husband asks why André would make such a request from his daughter, her response is clear: “That’s why, because I’m his daughter.” An adaptation of acclaimed French screenwriter and novelist Emmanuèle Bernheim’s memoir, EVERYTHING WENT FINE is a detailed portrait of family relationships, and a frank account of the process involved in assisted dying.
Steering clear of moral arguments such issues raise, EVERYTHING WENT FINE focuses instead on Emmanuèle’s complex relationship with her unrelentingly stubborn yet utterly charming father, and how she comes to terms with his decision. Acknowledging the emotional toil such a process involves, the film’s matter-of-factness elicits moments of humor that not only emphasize the characters’ humanity but make a weighty topic accessible.
Featuring stunning performances by Marceau and Dussollier, as well as a scene-stealing cameo by Charlotte Rampling as André’s ex-wife, EVERYTHING WENT FINE finds veteran director François Ozon tackling a complex subject with intelligence and sensitivity.

REVIEWS
“Everything Went Fine abounds in this kind of fragile, viciously knotted family drama, though Ozon’s candid, often bluntly funny screenplay keeps it at a low temperature throughout.”
“The prolific French director has returned to Cannes with this clear-eyed, handsomely constructed drama about the emotionally and ethically taxing business of arranging a relative’s assisted suicide, with a welcome juicy leading role for Sophie Marceau.”
“Another type of drama would put the issue-led handwringing at the centre of things. Not this film. It is just the hinge on which the family drama turns, and the performances from Dussollier and Marceau are quietly outstanding.”
