5th – Alibi.com 2 3.8/5
We are no longer presenting Philippe Lachaux’s cult comedy, which debuted on our big screens in 2017. La Bande à Fifi is back here for part two, always something to watch.
After closing his agency and promising Flo he’d never lie to him again, Greg’s new life is all too easy… but when he decides to propose to Flo, he unfortunately has to introduce his own family. Between her cheating father and her mother, a former actress in glamorous films, there is reason to risk her future relationship. He then decides to reopen his agency with his former accomplices for the ultimate alibi: to find more prominent false parents…
The first part was a movie Philip Lachaux which met with the greatest success, with more than 3.6 million viewers. That was without taking into account this second chapter, which broke its record with over 4.2 million entries! In Alibi.com 2, we find what made the first one so popular: a breakneck pace and a sequence of cheats at will. But for this new adventure, Gérard Juno, Didier Bourdon, Nathalie Bey and Ariel Dombaslet join the successful gang: it promises.
4th – Small Victories 3.8/5
Winner of two awards at the Alpe d’Huez festival last January (Public Prize and Special Jury Prize), Les Petites follows the adventures of Alice (Julia Piaton), the mayor of a small village and also a teacher. He who fights to keep his community alive will see his life changed by the explosive character of Emile (Michel Blanc), an illiterate sixty-year-old on the school benches. Especially when he has to try to save the village and the school at the same time…
In Small victories, Michel Blanc and Julia Piaton Respond with humor, charm and sensitivity and create a cute duo not to be missed. A tender and touching dramatic comedy, optimistic and faithful, with careful dialogue, Melanie Aufre’s film is a favorite that will touch you with its sincerity.
3rd – My Guilt 3.8/5
Twenty years after 8 Women, the biggest success of his rich filmography, François Ozon returns to investigative comedy.
In My Crime, we return to Paris in the 1930s. Madeleine Verdier, a young and rather penniless and untalented actress, is accused of murdering a famous producer. With the help of his best friend Pauline, a young unemployed lawyer, he is acquitted of self-defense. Then a new life begins, full of glory and success, until the truth comes out…
The show features a whirlwind investigation, with its false leads and twists, an intrigue that foregrounds female friendship and friendship, and other themes that resonate with our society. Add a real comic tone to it and that’s it. Corresponds 8 women, my crime It’s a deliciously funny comedy, performed by a sublime cast, made up of Nadia Tereskevic (newly Caesarized) and Rebecca Marder, as well as French cinema mainstays Isabelle Huppert, Fabrice Lucchin, Danny Boon and Andre Dusollier.
2nd – Easy as Sylvain 3.9/5
This dramatic comedy unlike any other begins as a classic romance and then completely reinvents the genre with intelligence and modernity.
Sophia (Magalie Lépine Blondeau) is a philosophy professor in Montreal. Brilliant and cultured, she has lived a quiet life with Xavier (Francis-William Rheum) for 10 years. But everything changes when he meets Sylvain (Pierre-Yves Cardinal), a model of chivalry and a carpenter who comes to renovate their country house. It’s love at first sight: opposites attract, but can it last, especially when Sofia’s two worlds collide?
Like Sylvain, this is Quebecer Monia Chokri’s third film and a gem that blasts stereotypes and subverts images of men, women and couples in the process. The director has created a wonderful film about the midlife crisis: a funny, crazy and bitter “rom-com”, at the same time moral, deep and melancholic. Don’t miss it.
1st – Yannick 3.9/5
It was shot in six days and came to theaters as a surprise, announcing just a month before it hit theaters: Here’s Yannick, the surprise of the year!
In the middle of a performance of “Le Cocu” in a very bad boulevard, Yannick gets up and stops the show to occupy the evening… Here, director Quentin Dupierre stages his worst nightmare: boring the audience. .
The result: It’s only 1hr 07 long, but it’s effective, funny, disturbing and disturbing all at the same time. The feature film, directed by an insane cast of Raphael Quenard, Pio Marmay and Blanche Garden, is first and foremost a black comedy that builds a progressive angst until it becomes unsettling but also overwhelming. Yannick, the film and the character, will stay with you for a long time… a true cinematic proposition according to the audience.
The ranking consists of films released in theaters in 2023 and with a minimum rating of 500. Feel free to post your notes and reviews on the profiles of these movies (and others) and post your tops in the comments below!
