Elemental or Asteroid City: Which is the best movie of the week?

3 best films according to the press:

1: Il Boemo – 3.9/5

“In a remarkable gesture of rehabilitation, Petr Vaclav retraces the life of the baroque composer Józef Misliveček, who knew fame and immediate oblivion. And draws a beautiful parallel between the artist’s situation and the situation of the women around him.” By Camille Nevers (Liberation)

“This opulent and heart-wrenching film chronicles the short life of a neglected genius and hears for the first time (BO at Warner Classics) the truly divine music of ‘Il divino Boemo’. Watch and especially listen.” By Jerome Garcin (L’Obs)

2nd draw: Pornomelancholia – 3.5/5

“Beyond the particular route of sex work, everyone has a tendency to think of themselves and present themselves as products, which the film observes with great sharpness.” By Jean-Marc Lalanne (Les Inrockuptibles)

“Although the theme of loneliness is becoming a cliché in the digital age, Manuel Abramovich gives it a special texture, preferring a demonstrative story to a melancholic chronicle fed by the insignificance of everyday life.” Olivia Cooper-Hajian (Cahiers du Cinéma)

2nd draw: elementary – 3.5/5

“If Elementary lacks the freedom of Peter Son’s previous film, Le Voyage d’Arlo, it finds what made it beautiful: the sincerity of emotion.” by Aurelien Alain (cinema)

“In this impossible romance between two beings, we find that everything a priori is opposed – chemically – to all the beauty and poetry that the studio knows how to show. By Cyprien Caddeo (L’Humanité)

Asteroid City ranks fourth in Top Press with an average of 3.2/5.

3 best movies according to viewers:

1: Elementary – 3.9/5

“A film that I spent a pleasant moment with my family in front of. A simple, exciting and exciting story.” By Emily Lee

“We’re still talking about a love story between fire and a pool of water here! Funny? Absolutely not, it’s full of inventiveness and beautiful to die for, both emotionally and visually.” Jorik V

2nd: Il Boemo – 3.8/5

“Il Boemo” is a great moment of cinema, where the director subtly bears witness to the era, combining supporting period documents (Mozart’s correspondence, to name one) and fiction.” by Sydney

“This film is a visual and aural marvel, with sumptuous sets and costumes, and above all, breathtaking opera scenes.” by leroycrogold

3rd: SISU – Gold and Blood – 3.3/5

“A sort of half ‘Kill Bill’ half Finnish ‘Machete’, as improbable as it is inventive, never daring to take itself seriously, but certainly well done.” by St.

“As long as you take it literally, I find this movie very entertaining. It’s gory, full of dark humor, over the top everywhere.” by Sydney

Asteroid City is fifth in the top ratings with an average of 3.1/5.
