A Tender and Moving Debut Film

AlloCiné reviewers have praised the film’s profound sensitivity, delicacy, and subtlety. The consensus is that On ira is a tender and moving film that brings audiences from smiles to tears.

Nathbar noted, “I loved it!! It’s fresh, tender and moving, funny at the same time. It’s full of good feelings and so imbued with humanity! Apparently, we need it, as, contrary to appearances, it’s a film that does good without being depressing. ‘Voyage Voyage’ sung by Barbara Pravi perfectly complements the story—it’s wonderful!“

Pierre E shared, “Some films have the gift, despite the gravity of the subject here—assisted suicide at the end of life—of leaving you in a state of grace, on a little cloud of sweetness and humanity. That’s the case here, led by the majestic Hélène Vincent and especially the great Pierre Lottin, whose rustic generosity grips us and doesn’t let go until the final scene. And of course, while we do shed some tears, we also have a lot of fun with this joyful group.“

“Subtle and Nuanced”

Islander29 also comments, “A little gem of sensitivity… The approach works like in Little Miss Sunshine (…). The topic is serious and profound (…) but it’s clear that while we smile subtly through the first half of the film, the second half is more emotional, even serious. (…)“

Isabelle E.C. adds, “Exceptional, subtle and nuanced, funny and moving. I loved this film which makes you think without being preachy, that makes you feel and share. A somewhat unusual road movie. The characters have depth and humor. They are endearing. None are perfect. There are no heroes, just ordinary people living together, that’s all.“

Released on March 12, On ira is now in theaters.
