The film stars Vincent Cassel, Emmanuelle Bercot, Louis Garrel and Isild Le Besco (Maïwenn's sister).

She reveals that they met while she was working her way through law school as a waitress and he used to flick water at women he would flirt with.

They quickly begin dating, although she is agitated when he introduces her to Agnès, a former model girlfriend who dislikes Tony and tells her she "stole" her boyfriend.

While she is living alone, a lawyer and movers come by to tell her that because Georgio is in severe debt, many of their possessions, including ones that she brought to the marriage, are being taken away to be sold.

After her suicide attempt, Tony finally decides to divorce Georgio, but he refuses, especially after she tells him that he will only be able to see his son every other weekend.

Georgio makes an appearance, and though it is clear they still care about each other and share a mutual attraction, they do not interact, and they do not engage in a fight or any of the passive-aggressive behaviour that marked so much of their relationship.

Georgio leaves early, saying goodbye to the teachers but not directly to Tony, who smiles wistfully before turning back to the interview.

Maïwenn spent many years writing the script for the film, which was loosely based on her relationship with real estate developer Jean-Yves Le Fur.

[9] Agnès was based on model Karen Mulder, who was Le Fur's former fiancé and attempted suicide in 2002.

"[11] On Metacritic, the film has received a score of 68 out of 100 based on 18 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Club said that despite "parts of the film that are intriguing on their own... [Mon Roi] is overlong and overheated, suggesting a filmmaker who's better at getting actors to yell at each other than at judging what's essential.
