3 best films according to the press:
1: As Bestas – 4.3/5
“Spanish filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen follows the trails of a mountain thriller to tackle the xenophobia that plagues our time. A lesson in cinema.” Emanuel Spadasenta (filmmaker)
“Rodrigo Sorogoyen achieves this story masterfully, at the crossroads of thriller and western, often with an air of breathless anxiety.” By Stéphane Belpesch (Le Journal du Dimanche)
2nd: Tempura – 3.5/5
“A culinary bluesy that goes beyond Japan’s ‘Top Chef’ side (don’t go there on an empty stomach), explores a frozen society where loneliness and an unbridgeable divide between men and women reign supreme.” Xavier Leherpeur (L’Obs)
“In Tempura, Akiko Oku takes her time, she continues to enjoy, scenes that drag on and on, and we often get bored. (…) And yet, if we take the time to stop there, or if we linger, we measure up to the end of this rather existential comedy that Japanese actress Noni has grace By Natalie Chiflett (Latest from Alsace)
3rd: The Little Band – 3.4/5
“Pierre Salvador takes on youth without an angel in this charming island comedy.” By Mathilde Blotier (Télérama)
“Less grown-up and more ‘family’, La Petite Bande still comes across less as a stepping stone than as a synthesis of Salvadoran cinema, with its strengths and weaknesses.” By Hugo Mathias (Critikat.com)
Happy Retirement 2 has an average rating of 1.4/5 (out of 5 reviews).
3 best movies according to viewers:
1: As Bestas – 4.2/5
“In a cafe, on a country road or in a forest, As Bestas is full of brilliant and confronting scenes that make one shudder and wonder by what miracle Sorogoyen manages to keep us focused for nearly 140 minutes.” by Sydney
“Like Bestas” immerses us in a psychological marinade of great vitality, which synthesizes the correctness of Sorogoyen’s cinema. According to Cinemamemories
2nd: Tempura – 3.45/5
Combining romance and conceptual film, Tempura is a film of absolute freedom, a deep tale, mind-blowing and absolutely delicious. by Sydney
“The heroine is kind, dynamic, funny, empathetic and moving. We put ourselves perfectly in her shoes and understand her procrastination.” By Piatt Dominick
3rd: The Little Band – 3.4/5
“Funny, tender, touching, profound…Salvador makes us laugh as he asks us and takes us into his world. A pure delight with a wonderful young cast!” by Emilystmoy
