My Best Part

Best known to American audiences as Hervé, the frantic agency assistant in the hit Netflix series Call My Agent!, actor Nicolas Maury moves behind the camera, directing, co-writing, and starring in this coming-of-age dramedy, My Best Part. Here, the actor courageously steps into the skin of the mercurial Jérémie, a hypersensitive struggling actor with an uncontrollable green-eyed monster on his back. Grappling with personal loss, a love life in shambles, and a faltering career, Jérémie turns to his clear-headed mother for support (Nathalie Baye in one of the loveliest roles of her career) in this auspicious, often touching, directorial debut. -Colcoa French Film Festival

"Nicolas Maury moves into film direction with panache, delivering a melancholy comedy that’s both funny and moving about an anxious, jealous actor struggling with his uniqueness and discontentment." ~ Cineuropa

"My Best Part is an unassuming debut from an underrated performer." ~ Ioncinema
