“With the best scenes, excellent acting, photography and high-class special effects, ‘Substance’ combines all the possibilities to attract fans of genre films. By Jackie Bornet (Franceinfo Culture)
“This horror film portrays brutality, insight, courage and radicality that is determined to entertain. By Stéphane Belpesch (Le Journal du Dimanche)
2nd draw: A trip to Gaza – 3.6/5
“The touristic connotations of the title suggest this: Usbert embraces his status as an outsider who becomes a resource – when faced with an outside view, the obvious disappears and everything deserves to be told.” Olivia Cooper-Hajian (Cahiers du Cinéma)
“With unwavering dignity.” Nathalie Chiflet (Le Dauphiné Libéré)
2nd draw: The shadow of the commander – 3.6/5
“A chilling documentary about the open wounds of the twentieth century.” By Adrienne Gombo (Les Echos)

3 best movies according to viewers:
1: Work hard! – 4.4/5
“It’s a great idea, this juxtaposition between the world of the rich, whose speeches are constantly televised, and watching ‘real people.'” By Sylvie Richeau
“Great film, a must see. Humor and sensitivity in this film which highlights precarious workers who are not talked about enough, who do fantastic work.” by Mariagnes Sereskan73
2nd: Substance – 4/5
“Demi Moore, in a new genre, very confident where you don’t expect her, but still tall, beautiful, so dignified and at the same time so miserable, faintly human. Bare, true, glorious.” By S Pbc
“A visual uppercut, but not only that, ‘Substance’ draws on the best of the genre in cinema (from Cronenberg to Carpenter via Lynch) or even the Z series to give birth to a total cinematic monster, both exciting and highly inspired.” by Macorelli
3rd: Louise Violet – 3.9/5
“Alexandra Lam is brilliant in this film that takes you back in time and teaches you a great lesson about education.” by vince60++
“A very beautiful, moving story. The characters are brilliant and the scenery is breathtaking.” By Benedict Vrignon
