Overview
- The film opened in French cinemas on 25 May after a hors‑compétition screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
- Agnès Jaoui wrote, directed and stars in the project, which she says grew from a desire to work on opera and to speak about the post‑#MeToo moment.
- Early press response is sharply divided: Le Journal du Dimanche praised the film's wit and nuanced take on masculinity, while Le Nouvel Obs gave it one star and accused it of relying on clichés and trivializing harassment.
- This is Jaoui's first feature without longtime collaborator Jean‑Pierre Bacri and the film is dedicated to him; the listed runtime is 2h14 and principal cast includes Daniel Auteuil, Claire Chust and Eye Haïdara.
- Jaoui has spoken against censorship of accused artists and defended public debate, a stance that may deepen the film's resonance in France's ongoing, heated discussion about how society responds to allegations and to those accused.
