To help you choose, here are the 3 films of the week rated best by the press and the audience on AlloCiné!*
3 best films according to the press:
1: Escape – 4/5
“A great suspense story, never tearful and with great modesty, about the violence of uncertainty and the chaos of the world.” By François Léger (Le Monde)
“The only light in this whole night, the cathartic, liberating side of this drawn-out therapy session, a new testament to the vitality of animated documentary.” By Bernard Genin (Positive)
2nd: Everything everywhere at once – 3.9/5
“An unclassifiable film that explores multiple genres of cinema with a hatred that is never factual or opportunistic.” By Adam Sanchez (GQ)
“The film is a cinematic playground, allowing itself to be a pure Bruce Lee action scene, branching out into big Hollywood drama, dabbling in the experimental and the silent…the pop and the crazy.” Cyprien Caddeo (Humanity)
3rd: Princess – 3.5/5
“The film, without revelations, but well constructed, takes us back to this atmosphere of the 1980s and 1990s. And reminds us how much the British people adored this 36-year-old woman.” By the editors (Le Parisien)
“This parade of archives primarily allows us to measure the ‘obsession’ of the commentator of the time, the term that existed for his personality. BP (Le Figaro)
3 best movies according to viewers:
1: Escape – 4.2/5
“Escape” is mentioned a few days after watching it. One word always comes to mind: Humanity.” By Sydney
“The director had a great idea to use animation to highlight the tragic situations of migration without diminishing their truth. A very good discovery.” by PopiCel
2nd: Everything everywhere at once – 3.9/5
“It’s probably going to be my slap for 2022. I honestly can’t see what can beat it. It’s unique, it’s crazy, it’s brilliant… it’s a must see.” by Sydney
“Faultless for me. The two Danes managed to put me on an extraordinary journey from the first seconds, which unfortunately ended with the credits. Hats off to you!” with acidosis
3rd: Five Devils – 3.7/5
“For her second feature, Lea Missius delivers a wonderful, magical genre film that Adele Exarchopoulos carries gracefully.” Roman P.
“In short, I really liked this film for its horror side, but a little less for its fantasy side. Nevertheless, it remains a lot of technical work and a very appreciable soundtrack: something that is rarely highlighted for a French film.” by Josh
