My Dog Stupid

My Dog Stupid (Mon chien stupide, 2019) is a French-Belgian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Yvan Attal directs and stars as Henri, a middle-aged writer with four grown children still crowding his house, a wife — played by Charlotte Gainsbourg — who is somewhere else in her head, and a career that has quietly stalled. Then a massive, foul-mannered stray turns up in his garden.

Henri names him Stupid. The dog destroys furniture, ignores commands, and claims the couch — but asks for nothing in return, which turns out to be exactly what Henri needs. Based on Jean-Jacques Sempé's novel, the film turns this odd friendship into a genuinely funny and unforgiving look at midlife: the children are not lovably eccentric, the marriage is not secretly fine, and the dog does not fix any of it.
