This is My Mother

Pierre hasn't seen his mother in two years. She escapes a clinic, shows up at his door, and La vie de ma mère (2024) begins. Watch online on iFILM. Pierre, played by William Lebghil, is 33, runs a flower shop, and had everything arranged exactly the way he needed it.

Judith — Agnès Jaoui — has bipolar disorder and no interest in being managed. Jaoui plays her with an unpredictability that makes every scene feel live: you can't tell what Judith will say next, and neither can Pierre. Director Julien Carpentier keeps the film from tipping into farce or tragedy — it stays in the harder, funnier space between the two.
