Synopsis
This Life of Mine (Ma vie Ma gueule, 2024) is a French comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Sophie Filières and led by Agnès Jaoui. Barbie turns fifty-five and finds herself staring at a life she doesn't quite recognize.
She was, for a long time, the one who held things together — devoted mother, reliable partner. Then the holding stopped working, and she doesn't know who she is outside those roles. Philippe Katerine, Valérie Donzelli, Édouard Sulpice, and Angelina Woreth orbit her in ways that illuminate and complicate. Filières doesn't let her character off the hook: the film moves through darkness, absurdity, and moments of violence before it finds any air.
Jaoui plays exhaustion with the kind of precision that takes a career to build. This is a sharp, uncomfortable comedy about what midlife actually costs — not the soft version. Stream This Life of Mine (2024) online on iFILM.
