3 best films according to the press:

1: Stone Leaf Weapon – 3.9/5

“Emotions swirl in the passenger compartment and surprise us – stifled sobs at the mention of an abandoned cow, tears shed at the parents of a stranger.” By Raphael Nieuvier (Cahiers du Cinéma)

“A documentary gem from the recent Cannes Film Festival, this road movie brimming with compassion captures the harrowing accounts of Ukrainians evacuated in the first weeks of the Russian invasion, filmed in his own van by the director. By Stephen Dreyfus (La Croix)

2nd: Simple as Sylvain – 3.7/5

“With her third feature, Monia Chokri signs off on a great midlife crisis film: angsty rom-com, morality tale, and heart-wrenching melodrama.” by Emily Barnett (Marie Claire)

“Very funny, Simple comme Sylvain, however, contains music that is more bitter but also deeper and melancholic about the ghosts of past love and life.” by Marilou Dupontchel (Les Inrockuptibles)

3rd: Goodbye Julia – 3.5/5

“Signed with a confident hand, the film confronts this violence without flinching before retreating into subdued compositions, a muted case of domestic space.” By Sandra Onana (Liberation)

“A magnificent tragedy, exquisite and charming.” By Guillemette Odichino (Télérama)

3 best movies according to viewers:

1: Abbe Pierre – Life in battle – 3.9/5

“Strong, bright, moving: the film perfectly tells the humanistic, altruistic and innovative power of Abbé Pierre. Benjamin Laverne’s interpretation is excellent.” with Remil

“The story is very interesting and fascinating. A very exciting, exciting feature film and the actors play their roles perfectly. On the other hand, I think it’s a shame that certain moments are used less than others.” by D.

2nd: Simple as Sylvain – 3.8/5

“Wonderful! We laugh, we cry, it’s lively and intelligent. We feel the progress after my brother’s wife, some of the shots are gorgeous. God, Quebec is beautiful…” Jade D.

“The film is very light. We spend our time laughing at jokes that are sometimes absurd, sometimes subtle.” By Felix Masson

3rd: The Passion of Dodin Buffan – 3.5/5

“An excellent motion picture that leaves you satisfied! A real ode to gastronomy, with a very good cast.” by BenS

“An epic ode to French gastronomy, beautifully shot.” By Caroline Ragody
