Yannick is a 2023 French black comedy film written, shot, edited and directed by Quentin Dupieux.

[3] The film stars Raphaël Quenard as a heckler who takes a Parisian theatre hostage and rewrites the play under his own direction.

While the 3 actors, Sophie Denis, Paul Rivière and William Keller are playing in front of a half-empty room, they are suddenly interrupted by Yannick, a night parking watchman living in Melun, who explains to them that he finds the play bad and it can't make him forget his daily problems.

The actors, as well as certain people from the audience, ask Yannick to leave the room if he is unhappy, to the point that Paul gets off the stage and very aggressively insists that he gets out.

Yannick asks one of the spectators, an office worker, to lend him his laptop in order to write a new play which he believes will be much better than Le Cocu.

[4] Rising actor Raphaël Quenard, known for Les Mauvais Garçons, Final Cut and Junkyard Dog, plays the disappointed theatergoer Yannick in the title role.

[2] In France, the film opened alongside Meg 2: The Trench, Les Blagues de Toto 2 – Classe verte, The Hummingbird, Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine and Wild Flowers.

[14] It went on to sell 101,483 admissions in its opening weekend, finishing 9th at the box office, behind Barbie, Oppenheimer, En eaux très troubles, Les Blagues de Toto 2 – Classe verte, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Elemental, Haunted Mansion and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

[18] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 73 out of 100, based on 6 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.

[19] Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter called the film mostly fun and praised its "handful of lively performances and a few hilarious one-liners scattered throughout the mayhem."

Mintzer, however, also criticized the film, writing, "As in several of Dupieux's movies, this one ultimately lacks a punchline or something resembling a full denouement.
