Anne Le Ny's Dis-moi juste que tu m'aimes is a psychological drama starring Omar Sy, Élodie Bouchez, and Vanessa Paradis. After its theatrical release on February 19, 2025, and a VOD release in June, the film will be shown on Canal+ on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 9:09 p.m.
Julien and Marie, married for fifteen years, are going through a crisis when Anaëlle, Julien's first love, reappears. Overwhelmed by jealousy, Marie begins a relationship with her boss Thomas, a manipulative man. This intimate imbalance leads the couple into a dramatic downward spiral.
Anne Le Ny describes her film as a "domestic thriller." In it, she explores a pivotal period in the couple's relationship, neither the beginning nor the end of love, but its middle, when routine transforms passion into the management of everyday life. The intimate world of the film is concentrated in a symbolic house, whose warm exterior conceals constant tension, with a cellar trapdoor in the center of the living room, a metaphor for latent danger.
Filming took place in Brittany, mainly in Vannes, under extreme weather conditions. Three storms marked the production, including one during a key crisis scene, reinforcing the desired dramatic intensity. Omar Sy plays a more introverted character than in his usual roles. He describes Julien as a "modern hero" trying to save his relationship despite his flaws.
Vanessa Paradis, in the role of Anaëlle, was chosen for her ability to inspire both fascination and unease. The lack of rehearsals between her and Omar Sy before filming helped to maintain a natural tension on screen. José Garcia plays Thomas, a charismatic and predatory superior, whose threat is revealed through sincerity rather than apparent manipulation.
Benjamin Esdraffo's music heightens the suspense. The composer and director sought to use the soundtrack to express the emotional truths that the dialogue conceals. In some scenes, the music contradicts the words, creating a deliberate sense of unease. The film also relies on a visual metaphor: Kintsugi, the Japanese art of golden repair, reflecting the couple's reconstruction after their breakup.
Omar Sy and Anne Le Ny reunite here after Intouchables (2011), where they shared a memorable scene. This collaboration renews their complicity, already marked by artistic respect. The director also directed José Garcia in Le Torrent (2022), confirming her interest in stories of inner tensions and pretense.
