death with dignity needs to get addressed more in movies

François Ozon's "Tout s'est bien passé" ("Everything Went Fine" in English) looks a topic that gets little focus in cinema: a patient's choice whether or not to commit suicide. This issue came to prominence when the US state of Oregon passed an ordinance allowing physician-assisted suicide in 1994. In 2001, the Netherlands became the first country to allow it.This is one of those movies that requires you to pay attention the whole time: no explosions, high-speed car chases or corny one-liners. This is serious stuff. I wouldn't call it a great movie, but it takes a respectable approach to this controversial topic, showing all sides, as well as the difficulty of this in France (which for the record is ranked as having the best healthcare system in the world; in "Sicko", Michael Moore even showed France's robust welfare state).Worth seeing if you get a chance. I also recommend reading about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act.

Well done, and not afraid to ask the hard questions

Not many movies have the courage to ask the hard questions, such as this one. The cast is excellent, both Dussolier and Marceau do a splendid job. There are enough complications to keep things interesting, the story carries you along. It's a really good movie.If I have any criticism, it's that it takes place in an upper-class family, for which money is not an problem (that issue is briefly mentioned in the movie). This is therefore not at all representative of the average person, and it would be interesting to see this happen in a less privileged environment.Despite this, it's well worth watching.
