A small selection of internet reviews:

“This film is a little nugget, brilliant, poignant, violently tough, we find a way to film the police, very poised, very real, taken from life, always in motion, it’s beautiful.”Angelina J writes.

“This movie is perfect in every way. A gift! taking deeply human. Social background without judgment, morality, pathos. The audience was left alone in front of real life. It is up to him to think, to form his own point of view, and if necessary to make his own judgment, even to doubt it. It’s a really great movie“, reports PLR.

“A cinematic shocker like very few others. This impressively powerful film, with a beautifully fluid and utterly captivating plot, is masterfully performed by all the actors who leave us reeling with emotion. A great film, sensitive, deep and intelligent“- says Guitsine.

Heads Up drew nearly 800,000 viewers to theaters. It is currently available on VOD and DVD.

Rosalie, currently in theaters, is inspired by the true story of Clemens DeLay, better known as The Bearded Lady, portraying a lesser-known woman and offering a form of rehabilitation. The feature film, while very classical in its approach, avoids any sensationalism and is more about portraying difference and what some might perceive as the “monster”.

It is not a biographical film, but a romantic one, which leaves enough room for a love story between the characters played by Nadia Tereskevich and Benoit Magimel. Both won a César in 2023, the first as a female revelation for Les Amandiers, the second as best actor for Pacifiction.
