Best Film of the Week is “A wonderful lyrical film that touches the heart”

3 best films according to the press:

1: Emilia Perez – 4.1/5

“Visceral and melodic, delicate and raw, brutal and moving. Half Almodovar, half Michael Mann. Crazy.” By Renan Cross (cinema)

“Emilia Pérez is a gigantic work, monstrous even, that makes us love cinema in all its disproportionate and crazy aspects. By Laurent Cambon (aVoir-aLire.com)

2nd: Girls will be girls – 3.5/5

“A promising new voice in Indian cinema, Shuchi Talat explores the complexities of female sexuality with exquisite delicacy.” By Natalie Chiflet (Latest from Alsace)

“Following the codes of American indie cinema, which did not stand out from the crowd, Shuchi Talat stands out for his production’s focus on the multifaceted play of the gaze.” By Helen Bunce (Cahiers du Cinéma)

3rd draw: Anzu, the ghost cat – 3.2/5

“You do what you want, but we choose Anzu as our patron over all the new emotions that Pixar can give us, now living in our heads and paying no rent.” by Sylvester Picard (Premiere)

“This animated film, which is a little too gentle in style, is characterized by its brightness, its playful disorder, its abundance of visual ideas. And it presents a brutal reflection of the entry into the world of adults, who are not always ready to say goodbye to childhood. .” Xavier Leherpeur (L’Obs)

3rd draw: Hijo de Sicario – 3.2/5

“The fate of the son of a drug cartel hitman, shot in an impressionistic manner. Hijo de sicario gives pride to nature and shows the random and atavistic nature of crime born in rural poverty.” Vincent Austria (L’Humanité)

“Hijo de Sicario’s two directors, with powerful staging and beautiful imagery that never overdoes it, manage to bring real perspective to their film, especially in what they say about determinism.” by DB (here)

3 best movies according to viewers:

1: Emilia Perez – 4.3/5

“Undoubtedly the most beautiful work and landmark originality at the Cannes Film Festival!” by donidarko1

“A very original screenplay and an amazing musical score. In the end, a masterpiece! Jacques Audiard is an amazing filmmaker.” by Stephen

2nd: Blink twice – 3.1/5

“Zoe Kravitz is establishing herself as a talented director capable of creating intense and memorable cinematic experiences that are sure to become iconic. By Zola Ntondo

“For a first movie, that’s a success!” By Flavien Chabrier

3rd: spade – 2.5/5

“Given that I had no expectations and that I hadn’t seen the original, I didn’t come back disappointed or disillusioned. But I understand that fans of the original are disappointed and angry that the potential of this story was poorly and underutilized.” by Zaldi

“Watched and rewatched, rather predictable and simple, The Crow doesn’t shine with its originality either. Apart from the opera sequence, quite good and entertaining, the film as a whole remains above average. Not so great…” Jeremy
