[3] Bettie (Deneuve), a harried restaurant owner from Brittany, is an aging former beauty queen with an estranged adult daughter and grandson and an elderly mother who meddles in her life.

He indeed files for a divorce, but Bettie discovers that it is actually because he is also having another affair with another much-younger woman.

She discovers other parts of France and makes new friends in the process.

The site's consensus reads, "While the script may not always be worthy of her gifts, Catherine Deneuve's performance ultimately offers more than enough reason to watch On My Way.".

[6] Jordan Mintzer titled his review in The Hollywood Reporter "Catherine Deneuve hits the road in this rocky third feature from actress-filmmaker Emmanuelle Bercot" and resumed On My Way (Elle s'en va) was "a film that's much more bouillabaisse than haute cuisine".
