“If the Iranian regime is clearly condemned, the film is universal enough to apply to any authoritarian country. It concludes with an intense final hour that draws on genre cinema, from Westerns to The Shining, to offer an unforgiving indictment.” By Thibaut Lis (Le Dauphiné Libéré).
2nd: my life my face – 3.9/5
“Finished by the director’s children, this film is a marvel of tragicomic poetry and offers Agnes Jaoui one of her most beautiful roles.” by Bruno DeRuisseau (Les Inrockuptibles)
“Agnes Jauy is excellent in this funny, good, and moving comedy, a posthumous production of Sophie Filler, who died shortly after filming.” Catherine Peinsett (La Voix du Nord)
3rd: Conservatory Street – 3.8/5
“The duality that carries emotions that Valerie Donzel takes great advantage of.” Xavier Leherpeur (L’Obs)

3 best movies according to viewers:
1: Wild Fig Seed – 4.3/5
