Mr. Know-It-All (Monsieur je-sais-tout, 2018) is a French comedy-drama directed by François Prévôt-Leygonie and Stéphan Archinard — watch online on iFILM. Arnaud Ducret plays Vincent, a 35-year-old youth football coach who has arranged his bachelor life exactly the way he likes it.

Then his 13-year-old nephew Leo arrives. Leo, played by Max Baissette de Malglaive, is a competitive chess player with Asperger's syndrome, and he is absolutely certain he is the smartest person in any room. The two rattle around each other with the precise awkwardness of people who share blood and nothing else — and slowly, without speeches, they find common ground. The film earns its warm moments by not hurrying toward them. Stream Mr. Know-It-All on iFILM.
