I'm not unhappy

About This Movie

I'm Not Unhappy (2019) is a raw glimpse into suburban life through the lens of Laïs Decaster, a film student who documents her tight-knit group of friends in Argenteuil. It's not about grand narratives or dramatic arcs; it’s more like an unfiltered slice-of-life that captures the mundane and the intimate. The pacing is gentle, almost meditative, allowing you to really sink into the ebb and flow of their daily routines. There's a warmth to the atmosphere, almost nostalgic, yet it carries an edge of realism that feels very current. The performances are natural—these are not actors, just friends being themselves. It’s distinctive in its simplicity and its candid portrayal of youth, friendship, and the subtleties of happiness and discontent.
