English Abstract
This first film accompanies Lila (Hafsia Herzi is the protagonist and also its director) in her uncertain duel of a love that she finds it difficult to give up, but without closing in on herself and exploring the possibility of other ties.
The film exudes simplicity and naturalness, presents well-defined characters with few strokes and flows with dialogues as fresh as they are eloquent that bring it closer to Rohmer's cinema.
English Review
You Deserve a Lover begins with a tense discussion between Lila (Hafsia Herzi) and Rémi (Jerémié Laheurte), her boyfriend, who had distanced himself from her to think about the future of the relationship, a relationship that will suffer an uncertain fate.
In her debut feature, the director Hafsia Herzi will accompany Lila in this uncertain duel of a love that she finds it difficult to give up, in her attempt to distance herself from a clearly manipulative and narcissistic boyfriend. With the support of some friends, however, she does not close in on herself and begins to explore the possibility of other ties.
The film exudes simplicity and naturalness, presents well-defined characters with few strokes and flows with dialogues as fresh as they are eloquent, making it clear that the duel is often not a linear process. I dare to assure that its theme, its fluidity and its dynamics inscribe the film, inscribe this film in the tradition of the cinema of Eric Rohmer and his heroines.

Abstract Español
Esta opera prima acompaña a Lila (Hafsia Herzi es su protagonista y también directora) en su duelo incierto de un amor al que le cuesta renunciar, pero sin cerrarse sobre sí misma y explorando la posibilidad de otros vínculos.
La película derrocha sencillez y naturalidad, presenta personajes muy bien definidos con pocos trazos y fluye con unos diálogos tan frescos como elocuentes que la acercan al cine de Rohmer.
Reseña Español
Te mereces un amor comienza con una tensa discusión entre Lila (Hafsia Herzi) y Rémi (Jerémié Laheurte), su novio, quién había tomado distancia de ella para pensar sobre el futuro de la relación, relación que sufrirá un destino incierto.
En su ópera prima, la también directora Hafsia Herzi acompañará a Lila en este duelo incierto de un amor al que le cuesta renunciar, en su intento de tomar distancia de un novio claramente manipulador y narcisista. Con el apoyo de algunos amigos, sin embargo, no se cierra sobre sí misma y empieza a explorar la posibilidad de otros vínculos.
La película derrocha sencillez y naturalidad, presenta personajes muy bien definidos con pocos trazos y fluye con diálogos tan frescos como elocuentes, dejando en claro que el duelo muchas veces no es un proceso lineal. Me atrevo a asegurar que su temática, su fluidez y su dinámica inscriben a la película inscriben a este film en la tradición del cine de Eric Rohmer y sus heroínas.

What do we deserve? And how do we get exactly that? And shouldn't we account what others may feel? Certain things may not always be as easy as we make them to be. Relationships are hard work or can be for example. Is it worth pursuing them even if we know they are not good to us? No pun intended in this case.
Our main character here seems to really want to stay in a relationship, for better or worse. But then she also has these other feelings ... it may feel strange for some, but irrationality in feelings is not really something uncommon. And therefor the movie has something to tell. Maybe not something you want to hear or watch as a viewer, but it is there. Everyone down for the drama this delivers will not be dissapointed - just suspend your disbelief and accept this for what it is ... there may be a pun here
