You Deserve a Lover

You Deserve a Lover (Tu mérites un amour, 2019) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM, written, directed and led by actress Hafsia Herzi in her feature debut. Her character Lila has just been left by Rémi, who cheated and then flew to Bolivia to "find himself." Lila stays behind, unsure whether she wants him back or simply wants to stop caring.

What follows isn't a neat arc. Friends weigh in with useless advice, new encounters offer short-term distraction, messages from abroad arrive at the wrong moments. Herzi keeps no moral distance from her protagonist — the film watches without judging, which is a harder thing to pull off than it sounds. Stream You Deserve a Lover online on iFILM.
