Love Affair(s)

Love Affair(s) (Les choses qu'on dit, les choses qu'on fait, 2020) is a French romantic drama directed by Emmanuel Mouret, available to watch online on iFILM. Daphne is three months pregnant and waiting at a countryside house for her boyfriend François to join her. He sends his cousin Maxime instead — a man she has never met — and the two of them spend four days together, talking.

The conversations go deep quickly. Maxime and Daphne trade stories about past relationships, missed chances, and what it actually feels like to fall for someone you shouldn't. The film weaves these exchanges with several other love stories told in flashback — interlocking confessions that complicate each other. Camélia Jordana and Niels Schneider carry the central pairing; Vincent Macaigne and Émilie Dequenne appear in the surrounding chapters. Runtime: 122 minutes.

Mouret's film is patient and unapologetically wordy — it treats romantic ambiguity as something worth examining carefully, not resolving quickly. For viewers who find that combination of intimacy and analysis rewarding, it's precisely the kind of film that stays with you. Stream Love Affair(s) (2020) online on iFILM.
