You Will Be Fine

About This Movie

You Will Be Fine is a unique blend of animation and drama, offering a reflective look at heartbreak and its aftermath. The film's tone is both melancholic and humorous, capturing the awkwardness of life post-breakup. Céline Devaux’s direction harnesses a distinct visual style that feels like a surreal exploration of Jean’s psyche. Pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of introspection and humor to breathe. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve to enhance the emotional landscape rather than distract from it. Jean's drunken birthday revelry is a poignant backdrop for his scattered memories of Mathilde, and the way these moments are animated gives them a distinct, dreamlike quality. It’s an interesting take on coping with loss, with a certain charm in its imperfections.
