You Choose!

You Choose! (L'Embarras du choix, 2017) is a French romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Eric Lavaine and starring Alexandra Lamy as Juliette — a forty-year-old woman who has spent her entire life letting other people decide things for her.

What to order. Where to live. Who to be with. Her father, her friends, her colleagues all have opinions, and Juliette has always found it easier to agree. Then two men show up at once: steady, reliable Etienne, and the more spontaneous Paul, played by Jamie Bamber. For the first time, her usual crowd of advisors — including characters played by Franck Dubosc and Jérôme Commandeur — can't hand her an answer. The only way out is to figure out what she actually wants.

Lavaine anchors the comedy in character rather than in farce. Lamy plays Juliette not as scatterbrained but as genuinely afraid of getting it wrong — which is a funnier and more honest place to start. Stream You Choose! (2017) online on iFILM.
