Everything Went Fine is a French-language drama film directed by François Ozon. It is based on the autobiographical novel "Tout s'est bien passé" by Emmanuèle Bernheim. The film follows the story of Emmanuelle (Sophie Marceau), a successful playwright and screenplay writer, who rushes to the bedside of her father André (André Dussollier) after he suffers a stroke.
André is admitted to the hospital and Emmanuelle quickly learns that he is paralyzed and unlikely to recover. While visiting him, André reveals to her his intention to end his life and requests her help to do so. Emmanuelle is torn between her father's wish and her moral and legal obligations as a daughter.
As André's conditions worsen, Emmanuelle begins to confront the practicalities and ethical implications of assisted suicide. She seeks advice from medical professionals, lawyers, and her own family members, who have contrasting opinions on the matter.
The film delves into the complex dynamics of family relationships, as Emmanuelle tries to come to terms with her father's condition and reconcile her own feelings. Everything Went Fine explores the themes of aging, euthanasia, and family ties, with a poignant and thought-provoking approach.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in July 2021, receiving critical acclaim for its sensitive treatment of a delicate subject. The performances of Sophie Marceau and André Dussollier were particularly praised, as they skillfully conveyed the emotional turmoil of their characters.
