Géraldine Nakache's Fourth Feature Explores a Woman's Emancipation from a Toxic Marriage

In the story, the wife requires considerable time before she recognizes the harmful nature of her husband. The film centers on the theme of a woman's emancipation from conjugal control. Le Monde's culture section published its coverage of the film on September 16, 2026.

Nakache, previously known as an actress, here takes the director's chair for her fourth long métrage. The narrative places the marital relationship inside a traditionalist Jewish setting, a specific social context that shapes the couple's dynamic. The wife's gradual realization of her partner's toxicity forms the dramatic arc. The title translates roughly as "If you think well." The article is signed by Le Monde's culture desk.
