Synopsis
The Test (Le Test, 2021) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Emmanuel Poulain-Arnaud keeps it small and domestic, handing the leads to Alexandra Lamy and Philippe Katerine.
It all kicks off over something tiny. Annie, a mother of four, finds a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom bin — and knows it isn't hers. Cue the panicked-mom logic: so whose is it? Suddenly everyone's a suspect — her teenage daughter, her younger son's girlfriend, even a possible mistress of her husband. Rather than just ask, Annie launches a quiet household investigation, and every new clue drags another family secret into the open, each more ridiculous than the last.
The film runs on the rhythm of its absurd arguments and on Lamy's charm as the picture-perfect mother teetering toward a breakdown. Eighty-five minutes of light, slightly barbed humor with no drama pretensions. It's a good pick for an evening when you want a French comedy about all the skeletons a model family keeps in the closet. Stream The Test (2021) online on iFILM.
