You Can Live Forever is a Canadian drama film, written and directed by Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky and released in 2022.[1] The film stars Anwen O'Driscoll as Jaime, a teenager who is sent to live with her aunt Beth (Liane Balaban) after her father's death; Beth is married to Jean-François (Antoine Yared), a devoutly religious Jehovah's Witness who aspires to be a leader of his congregation. Jaime soon develops a romantic relationship with Marike (June Laporte), another young woman in the Jehovah's Witness community.[2]
The film's cast also includes Hasani Freeman, Deragh Campbell, Marc-Antoine Auger, Tim Campbell, Xavier Roberge, Lenni-Kim Lalande and Juliette Gariépy.
The film was inspired in part by Watts' own upbringing in a Jehovah's Witness community, but Watts has indicated that it is not autobiographical.[3] The film entered production in fall 2021, with filming taking place in Montreal and Saguenay.[4]
The film premiered in June 2022 at the Tribeca Film Festival.[2]
