“With great romantic power, the Larriet brothers’ beautiful film tells the story of atypical fatherhood and reveals emotions where we least expect them.” By Olivier Lamm (Liberation)

2nd: City of Darkness – 3.8/5

“Soi Cheng brings together the stars of the genre and young warriors in a spectacular fight festival in a fascinating location.” By Caroline Wie (20 minutes)

3rd: Alien: Romulus – 3.6/5

“Technical and artistic combine to make this film an opus that can look adults in the eye without blushing. By Alain Blanvillen (Le Journal du Geek)

Without Sigourney Weaver, but following the saga started by Ridley Scott in 1979, this new Alien with a fairly classic plot introduces a new duo of quite believable heroes fighting even more terrifying creatures. By Marine Quinchon (Les Fiches du Cinéma)

3 best movies according to viewers:

1: Jimmy’s Romance – 3.8/5

“Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrier do not hide that they created a melodrama, but there is a melodrama and a melodrama: when a melodrama manages to give the audience great emotion without showing the slightest pathos, we do. Can’t just clap with both hands!” speed

“You can see it in previews! This movie is moving. The story takes place over twenty years. Very beautiful interpretation by the actors and actresses who are amazingly natural. We almost all cried. It made me want to read the novel.” by Yumi7

2nd: Alien: Romulus – 3.7/5

“Yes, the aliens are indeed back! With a ferocity we never thought we’d see one day. Thanks to Fede Alvarez, a new cry is finally being heard in space. And they’re demanding a sequel, too.” by RedArrow

3: City of Darkness – 3.6/5
