Goodbye, My Friend

Goodbye, My Friend (Adieu, Jean-Pat, 2025) is a French-Belgian dramedy by Cécilia Rouaud you can watch online on iFILM. Étienne is pushing 35, and the schoolyard bully who tormented him still lives rent-free in his head.

Then word comes that Jean-Pat has died. Étienne feels relief more than grief. The catch: the dead man's mother always believed the two were inseparable best friends, so she asks Étienne to arrange the funeral. He can't bring himself to say no. What follows is a reluctant farewell to the person he hated most — and proof that Jean-Pat isn't finished wrecking his life just because he's gone. Hakim Jemili leads, with Constance Labbé and Nora Hamzawi.

Rouaud mines the awkward gap between fake mourning and real resentment, turning every eulogy into a small disaster. It lands for anyone who likes French comedy with a bitter aftertaste, light on sentiment and heavy on cringe. Stream Goodbye, My Friend (2025) online on iFILM.
