Synopsis
Mr. Stein Goes Online (Un profil pour deux, 2017) is a French romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Stéphane Robelin and starring Pierre Richard. Pierre, a 75-year-old widower who hasn't left his apartment in roughly two years, gets a laptop from his worried family and a young tutor named Alex to walk him through the basics.
He discovers a dating site. A woman calling herself Flora63 starts corresponding with him — drawn in by the kind of courteous, unhurried writing that nobody her age seems to do anymore. The snag: Pierre uploaded a photo of Alex, not himself. When Flora suggests meeting in person, Pierre persuades Alex to show up in his place. The resulting triangle is awkward, warm and quietly complicated in ways the setup doesn't telegraph. Richard is exactly right for it — his Pierre is ridiculous enough to be funny and genuine enough that you root for him anyway. Stream Mr. Stein Goes Online (2017) on iFILM.
