Ozon is one of the most important French directors who manages to alternate comedies with serious dramas and more scandalous and uncomfortable films. Everything will be fine belongs to the third family because talking about assisted death, even after The Barbarian Invasions or Sea Inside, always shakes the public and consciences.

But Ozon knows how to deal with death well and does not experience it as a taboo. He told it through the eyes of someone who knows that he soon won't see the dawn in The Time That Remains and he danced with it in Summer '85. Here he does not hide from assisted suicide at the end of life. He's filming a story that he knows very well because it's based on the novel by one of his co-writers, but he doesn't hold back.

Because everything went well is not a deadly film, but it offers truly remarkable moments of dark humor. Because the protagonist, in reality, is not a pleasant character, he is selfish, a slacker, fighting with his wife and lover, perhaps fighting with the world even before the icrus. However, everything is seen through the eyes of his favorite daughter, the person to whom the man turns to fulfill his plan. Here lies the pain, but also the awareness of a cruel truth.

And Sophie Marceau is truly convincing, capable of portraying all the conflicting feelings that a woman who is asked to organize a death can experience. Just like Dussollier who doesn't hide behind her illness, but provokes and entertains with her gaze.

Screened in competition at the last Cannes Film Festival, it is yet another good film by Ozon, who despite a great career has not yet managed to give us his masterpiece. Worth seeing to understand how you can face death even with a smile on your face and still leave the room not sad even if with a swollen heart.
