3 best films according to the press:
1: Daughters of Olfa – 3.7/5
“Awarded the Golden Eye for Best Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival, the result is cathartic, exciting, very moving and open to the public and makes us constantly vacillate between smiles and tears.” By the editors (Le Parisien)
Besides being charming and moving from beginning to end, “Les Filles d’Olfa” is a film that has its back. Bruised Sorority”. by Antoine Desrus (Widescreen)
2nd draw: untimely – 3.5/5
“A fight movie with a great sense of drama. Juan Diego Boto hits hard and straight.” By Francois Forestier (L’Obs)
“Conceived as a race against time, with nervous staging that creates a sense of urgency, this drama with ‘ken loachiens’ accents sounds like a cry of rebellion against a society that violates the rights of the weakest.” By Laurent Gianni (Télé 7 Jours)
2nd draw: master gardener – 3.5/5
“Pictured in images of quiet beauty, in the stillness that lies on the sleeping water, the story of redemption moves straight to its goal, among perennial asters and climbing roses.” By Eric Neuhoff (Le Figaro)
“We meet the filmmaker’s ample and magnetic staging, his talent for describing opaque men, haunted by mystery and shame. The master Schrader, unable to surprise us, cultivates his garden with austerity.” Julien Rousset (South West)
3 best movies according to viewers:
1: Daughters of Olfa – 4/5

“A great power cinematic and documentary experience.” Julian C.
2nd: Discord – 3.5/5
“Excessive and spectacular.” By Julian Stark777

3rd: Yes – 3/5
“A beautiful story with beautiful characters that the camera focuses on (many very close-ups, beautiful)!” by Sydney
“Of course, this film is not free from small flaws, but in the current decline of films in the cinema, this story appears to be an island of salvation.” per
