Fabelmans or Les Choses simples, which is the best movie of the week?

3 best films according to the press:

1: Fabelmans – 4.9/5

“With The Fabelmanns, Steven Spielberg signs his most intimate film yet. An inspiring story as well as a living tribute to his family and cinema. Humanistic and moving.” By Anne-Claire Cieutat (Band Apart)

“There is more than one reason to weep before the Fabelmans, who, however, are no more a melodrama than a suspect in emotional blackmail (…) In the evening of his career, Spielberg, like many of his characters before him, returns home.” By Jerome Momcilovic (Cahiers du Cinéma)

2nd: the last dance – 3.7/5

“In short, a completely classic documentary about a rather extraordinary figure, constantly torn between melancholy and theatricality. Vincent Austria (L’Humanité)

“It is this dizzying paradox that the documentary succeeds in capturing in a farewell to a persona that does not sound like an end or a renewal, but emerges as a sacred outline composed of light, shadows and glosses, celebrating an exhausted and brilliant triumph. of camp aesthetics”. by Arnaud Halle (Les Inrockuptibles)

3rd: jet lag – 3.5/5

“Transitioning from fiction to documentary, the young Chinese director doesn’t let up, turning the prison diary into a paradoxical means of shrinking the imagination.” By Corentin Destéphanes Dupin (The Defector)

“In dazzling black and white, a play of mirrors unfolds between past and present. History and anecdotes collide, blurring the boundaries of time and space.” By Emmanuel Scavington (Télérama)

Les Choses simples averages 2.7/5 for 6 reviews.

3 best movies according to viewers:

1: Fabelmans – 4.3/5

“So I wasn’t expecting much from The Fabelmans, whose overtly autobiographical theme was more of a revival of old sentimentality with the potential for a big tear. I was wrong.” by Christoblog

“Fabelmans” is a masterpiece that whispers to us the sweetness of great love… of the 7th art.” Michele G.

2nd: Guardians of the Planet – 4.2/5

“A wonderful experience at the movies and for life with the family. This film is both a wonderful contemplative documentary tale and a gentle invitation to introspection.” By Edward Nate

You will really wonder how the teams managed to get these emotional and deep shots. by Jadizer in 1980

3rd: stop your lies – 4/5

“This movie really moved!!! Incredible actors! Thank you for this beautiful moment 😊 Don’t hesitate, go see it!” by SB6
