2021 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 2 – François Ozon’s Everything Went Fine

Published on July 8, 2021

The only filmmaker to claim that he was at a covid edition (last year’s Summer of ’85) followed a post-pandemic edition Tout S’est Bien Passé (Everything Went Fine), this latest film proposes to not forget to laugh when we are ready to go…to Bern. François Ozon has been just about everyone on the fest circuit, from Berlin, to Venice or San Sebastian. Only his fourth time in comp, he came to Cannes with Swimming Pool (2003), Le Temps Qui Reste (2005), Young & Beautiful (2013) and L’Amant Double.

Everything appeared to be fine for the film with fourteen of our twenty critics giving this a passing grade for an average of 3.2. Are screenwriting, acting awards in the cards for Sophie Marceau or André Dussollier?
