3 best films according to the press:
1: Jeanne du Barry – 3.2/5
“A film with the appeal of a plea and a tragicomedy, shot in 35mm, lit as if by candlelight. Far from her comfort zone, Maven shows that she, like Jeanne, has confidence. She dares to be classic.” By Jerome Garcin (L’Obs)
“The film touches the heart directly with its tragic romanticism, lyricism and sophisticated dialogues that convey the brutal modernity. By Stéphane Belpesch (Le Journal du Dimanche)
2nd: Fast & Furious X – 2.9/5
“This 10th film remains a nice turbocharger while we’re still holding onto the franchise, but one that’s starting to seriously spin on its wheels.” By Alain Blanvillen (Le Journal du Geek)
“Aside from a few alibi scenes in which Dom reprises for us his timeless figure of a leader bent on justice, the film is content to be light, humble and heartening fun.” By Julien Dupuy (Le Point)
3rd draw: standing man – 2.7/5
“Despite good intentions and two fine actors, Florence Vignon’s first feature doesn’t quite seduce us.” By Christophe Caron (Voice of the North)
“A well-acted and well-lit Man Standing is by no means unpleasant, though it never manages to establish its ‘necessity’ on the screen.” By Adrien Gombo (Les Echos)
3rd draw: wonderful – 2.7/5
“This first feature film explores the LGTBQ+ topic in an emotional and sensitive register, as close as possible to the feelings of its characters, away from discourse and activism. By Laurence Huo (Franceinfo Culture)
“Perhaps it was necessary to shoot a young Martin Miller from behind to make him remind us of Timothée Chalamet. But it just makes you want to watch Call Me by Your Name again after all.” By Michel Bezbach (Télérama)
3 best movies according to viewers:
1: Mr. Constant – 3.6/5
“A lot of heart for this film, which is both simple and moving. Authentic characters who do a great job of bringing us on board, subtly, as they search for their story.” with a maximum of 0u86
“A beautiful, tender and moving film. A stunning cast whose acting keeps us on our toes until the finale. Great locations and images, with exceptional lighting.” by Silzel
2nd: Fast & Furious X – 3.5/5
“Overall, Fast X is an adrenaline-pumping movie that will appeal to anyone who loves fast cars and high-octane racing.” By The10Wick
“After a disappointing 9th episode, the Fast and Furious saga returns with this new film, which ranks among the saga’s best feature films.” By SwiiFt
3rd: Jeanne du Barry – 3.4/5
“The lighting in the film is excellent, the framing is excellent and the staging is inspired.” by mem94mem
