Upon returning from Barcelona after spending the summer with new friends Lea (Aissa Maiga) and Thomas (Julien Boisselier), Lily (Melanie Laurent) discovers that her twin brother Loic (Mickael Trodoux) has fled the family home following a particularly intense confrontation with family patriarch Paul (Kad Merad). When Loic fails to return Lily's increasingly desperate calls and her parents continually fail to explain the reasoning behind her brother's flight, the troubled girl lapses into an alarming emotional malaise in which she is unable to eat or sleep. Her health rapidly failing, Lily is admitted into a local hospital where she languishes until a letter arrives from her brother condemning the pair's father for ruining their lives. Upon recovering from her malady Lily sets out to locate her brother. It is a quest that will not only provide Lily with a better understanding of her faltering family dynamics, but set her down the path to womanhood as well. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile
Nominated for five Cesar awards and winner of two, this poignant drama about family relationships and secrets is both involving and surprising
Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews
...such an unusual journey tripped by such a seemingly odd event that its overall effect is difficult to describe -- this is a film which really must be experienced.

Don't Worry, I'm Fine starts off really well. It captures a young girl distressed at her twin brothers disappearance. Though Laurent gives a great performance, it is hard to truly connect to her because we don't know why they were so close. The only thing that is said is "They were very close, they were twins". That's all very well and good, but it isn't enough to justify a story where she tries to kill herself over it. Towards the end the film feels obligated to answer some questions with a series of twists. It does have you questioning the motives and mindset of other characters, but again this is an important thing that is never quite reseolved. It's certainly a well made film, but with too many gaps to ever be great.

I always liked Aaron's songs "Lili" & "Mister K" so I looked forward to see this but I'm disappointed & the main character's somehow annoying

French movie, Je vais bien, T'en Fais pas, was a movie of director Phillipe Lioret, who showed us the 19 year Lili Tellier, beautiful French actress Mélanie Laurent, who came back to her parents house, after a summer study in Barcelona Spain.She had a twin brother,who recently ran away from home after a fight with their dad, actually that was told to her. The plot did not developed much about her twin bro, all we knew was, he was a talented musician and songwriter, and a rock climber and he hated his dad. The movie was sometimes hard, and it showed how strong the bond was between brothers and sisters. I could not understand why the parents hid the truth for her, and made it so hard for her, try to protect her this way. The story was quite interesting but its hard to put in words without revealing anything,
