The New Girlfriend

The New Girlfriend (Une nouvelle amie, 2014) is a French drama by François Ozon you can watch online on iFILM. Claire and Laura were childhood best friends — same school, same milestones, married around the same time. When Laura dies young, Claire goes to check on the widower David and finds something she was not expecting.

He answers the door wearing Laura's dress. Holding the baby. Completely calm about it. What follows is not a scandal but a quiet unraveling of who Claire thought she was and who David actually is. Romain Duris plays David with startling conviction, and Anaïs Demoustier keeps pace as a woman whose grief shifts into something she cannot name.

Ozon is less interested in shock than in what happens when two people stop judging each other. The film runs 108 minutes and earns its final scene. Stream The New Girlfriend (2014) online on iFILM.
