Covaci's real-life family played his character's family. [2]
Mi Iubita Mon Amour was Noémie Merlant's feature film directorial debut. [3] The film came about on the "spur of the moment" during a visit to Romania by Merlant, Gimi-Nicolae Covaci, and other cast members—Merlant's close friends—in the summer of 2020. [4] [5] It was co-written by Merlant and Covaci, who had previously appeared in Merlant's short film Shakira (2019). [2] A small crew worked on the low-budget shoot over two weeks.

Mi Iubita Mon Amour premiered on 13 July 2021 in Special Screenings at the Cannes Film Festival. [2] [7]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 57% based on seven reviews. [8] The Guardian critic Peter Bradshaw described the film's dialogue scenes as "very watchable", but thought the ending was unsatisfying. [2] A critic for Screen Daily credited the film for its "sure-footed handling of tangled emotional issues", [9] though an IndieWire editor found Merlant "unwilling to grapple with the uncomfortable questions her story asks" regarding the relationship of Nino and Jeanne.
