"Bye Bye Morons" (original French title: "Adieu les cons") was released in 2020 and directed by Albert Dupontel, who also stars in the film alongside Virginie Efira as Suze Trappet. Upon its release, the film was met with critical acclaim and commercial success in France, praised for its unique blend of dark comedy, emotional depth, and satirical take on bureaucracy. Audiences appreciated the performances, particularly Efira's portrayal of Suze and Dupontel's own role as JB, as well as the film's inventive storytelling style.
Over time, "Bye Bye Morons" has maintained a positive reputation and is often regarded as one of Dupontel's best works. Rather than becoming a dated relic, it is considered more of an underrated gem internationally, as its sharp humor and heartfelt narrative continue to resonate with viewers. While it might not have fully achieved cult classic status globally, in French cinema it holds a special place as a modern classic that skillfully balances comedy and poignancy, making it a film worth revisiting.
