Everything Went Fine avoids sensationalism and dives into the moral complexity of the situation, going beyond a simple portrait of death. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 11, 2024

A subtle, nuanced, utterly non-exploitative drama about the right to die... a perceptive and quietly moving examination of a choice that some desire and others deplore.

| Original Score: B+ | May 28, 2023

While it lags in places, Everything Is Fine is saved by the first-rate performances by Marceau, Pailhas, Dussollier, Schygulla, and Rampling.

| Original Score: B | May 17, 2023

A richly human and unsentimental feature that sometimes operates like a procedural but one fueled by an unshakable warmth and empathy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 12, 2023

As a straight drama, Everything Went Fine is messy, unsparing and perhaps confused in its loyalties... As a psychological conundrum, though, Everything Went Fine holds sway.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 10, 2023

Sophie Marceau and André Dussollier combine for a vivid portrait of a daughter and father struggling with his desire to be assisted in suicide after suffering a debilitating stroke.

A remarkable work that I hope people are able to find and aren’t scared away by the subject matter.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 1, 2023

Everything Went Fine is well made without being entertaining—though entertainment doesn’t seem to be its goal—and it will reward patient audiences who appreciate a deliberate march toward an inevitable conclusion.

Graceful, subdued brushstrokes that never feel too thick or imposing.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 27, 2023

A meticulously balanced if oddly inert film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 25, 2023

Everything Went Fine is a strong drama about euthanasia, with a powerhouse cast etching a relatable gamut of emotions to putting that concept into practice.

| Apr 24, 2023

Marceau and Dussollier and more than fine in this challenging family drama.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 22, 2023

At heart, in its firmness of pace and shotmaking, Everything Went Fine is like a family procedural — sometimes tearful, sometimes funny, even suspenseful.

| Apr 21, 2023

[T]he filmmaker maintains a feeling that alternates between emotional detachment and vulnerability. It's accurate and authentic in that regard...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 21, 2023

Without indulging in showy emotional displays, Marceau excels as a woman living with conflicted emotions that allow for no easy resolution.

| Apr 20, 2023

By accepting the macabre premise on the same terms as the characters, Ozon finds something universal – even mordantly funny – on the other side.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 18, 2023

Unadorned with overt histrionics or ideological moralizing, the film deftly charts the rhythms and dynamics of a family in crisis, modulating the ebbs and flows of emotion in accordance with how much time there is left.

| Apr 17, 2023

An emotional and complex portrait of a family in crisis.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 14, 2023

In truth, every performance in “Everything Went Fine” is nicely judged—too much so, I suspect, for many filmgoers, who will be praying for someone to explode. Yet the movie is anything but bland.

| Apr 14, 2023

With tenderness and empathy, this bittersweet family drama is deliberately paced but rewards patience.
