LOVE IS OVERATED

Having always struggled with women, Anis is a confirmed bachelor. Three years to the day after the death of his best friend Isma, he decides it’s finally time to start meeting people. One evening, he takes the plunge and meets Madeleine (Laura Felpin), a lively, straightforward, assertive, and hyper-communicative young woman.

• “What makes Love Is Overrated so powerful is its ability to create a space between mockery and tenderness. Behind the often-biting jokes lies a sincere look at the contemporary fragility of the romantic bond. Mourad Winter avoids the easy option of a linear narrative, preferring to explore the unsaid, the mistakes, and the contradictions of two people who are complete opposites. He also succeeds in bringing together a gallery of delightful supporting roles around the main duo—played notably by Clotilde Courau, François Damiens, and Benjamin Tranié—who bring an extra touch of soul without ever distracting.”

• “Beneath the surface, the film offers an unexpected depth. Winter dares to explore male vulnerability and the anxieties surrounding intimacy. Through Anis’s emotional chaos, he paints a touching portrait of a man struggling with self-image and the fear of truly connecting.”
