Lie with Me

Lie with Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges, 2023) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Olivier Peyon adapted Philippe Besson's autobiographical novel about a first love so private it existed without a name.

Writer Stéfan Belcour (Guillaume de Tonquédec) returns to Cognac after 35 years for a distillery promotion. He meets Lucas (Victor Belmondo), a young man whose face stops him cold. Lucas is Thomas's son. Stéfan and Thomas were seventeen. Nobody knew.

Victor Belmondo — Jean-Paul's grandson — carries the dual weight of past and present with a naturalness that's hard to fake. The film doesn't push for sympathy or press down on its emotion; it just watches the way old silences fill a room. Stream Lie with Me online on iFILM.
