For all of his self-imposed restraints, Ozon remains a terrific actors’ director, with both Marceau and especially Dussollier giving lively performances that afford the film its limited spark.

When her elderly father has a stroke, a daughter rushes to his bedside. Sick and half-paralyzed in his hospital bed, he asks her to help him end his life. A meditation on family and the closure we will never get with our parents — even as mortality encroaches.

What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by David Rooney
Considering the subject matter, Everything Went Fine is not the most affecting drama, but its honesty and intelligence keep you glued.
This elegantly written, persuasively performed drama finds the ever-unpredictable Ozon in his plainest, most pragmatic gear as a filmmaker.
For all of its careful observations, it’s still an absolute slog to get through.
The performances are pitch perfect, particularly that of Marceau, who is superb in riding through the conflicts of the situation and the moments when the strong emotions riding over the niceties finally come to the fore.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
Another type of drama would put the issue-led handwringing at the centre of things. Not this film. It is just the hinge on which the family drama turns, and the performances from Dussollier and Marceau are quietly outstanding.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
This controlled unveiling of a fuller picture is certainly engaging, but the film has the respectful air of a tribute – to Bernheim, as opposed to her father – and its sheer seemliness means it lacks the intellectual and erotic fizz of Ozon’s best work.
With superb understatement, Marceau communicates Emmanuele’s seemingly inexhaustible patience, while hinting at all the unresolved feelings she has about this impossible man.
