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 Tie: Fire of Love – 4/5
“Based on stunning archives, documentary filmmaker Sarah Dosa retraces the fate of Katya and Maurice Craft, star volcanologists of the 1980s. Fire of Love is a gentle but fierce film that takes us back to the beginnings of the Earth and invites us to reinterpret the myth of Icarus. By Adrienne Gombeau (Les Echos )
“Thirty or forty years from our armchairs we can think of lava flows, mountains exploding like H-bombs and rolling down on us, and we realize that it’s extremely beautiful. by Guillaume Bonnet (premiere)
1 ex aequo: Chronicle of a temporary case – 4/5
“This Race to Seduction, a little gem of writing, is undoubtedly its author’s most successful film.” Fabrice Leclerc (Paris match)
“Emmanuel Moreau returns with a sparkling sentimental comedy about the conflict between the feminine and the masculine, in which Sandrine Kiberlain and Vincent McCain subtly play on their differences.” By Celine Rudin (La Croix)
3rd: Wisp – 3.9/5
“In this film, there is an idea of possible freedom, rediscovery or simply invention. Our desire is for each of them, filmmakers, actors, viewers, to enjoy the codes and connect with the unexpected. .” By Philippe Azur (Les Inrockuptibles)
“Rodriguez’s power is to put the body before the word, as in this almost silent film that was O Fantasma. The tough kindness with which he treats his characters is a manifesto.” By Jean-Noel Orengo (Defector)
Canailles averages 2.4/5 for 5 press reviews.
3 best movies according to viewers:
1: Chronicle of a Temporary Affair – 3.9/5
“A very beautiful film, as I like it, where the communication is everywhere and at the same time vague at times. Very good actors. Woody Allen air, slow scenes, very well written dialogues, funny, touching, light, everything you need. To balance the film.” Noémie by Espanet
“Chronicle of a Temporary Affair” thus opens the brackets on contemporary issues of passion, in a deliberate quarantine, it is time to close the brackets on the silence of its characters, who can finally leave the frame. According to Cinemamemories
2nd: Wisp – 3.4/5
“In retrospect, in the presence of the director, feu fout is a film in its own right, a kind of musical queer fairy tale that gently and humorously deals with themes such as colonialism, racism and homosexuality without drowning in film.” Fabien D.
“Sensual, poetic and funny film.” By Arthur Brondy
3rd: Theatrical Coup – 3.1/5
“If it’s not a second-hand adaptation of Agatha Christie’s work, her spirit is there.” By Regine CC
“A movie like this is obviously not going to revolutionize cinema. It’s less funny than Knives Out, but it’s enjoyable. A kind of sweet treat that’s pleasant on the palate and without any real taste quality.” by Cinephile
Canailles is the 6th best viewer average 2.3/5.
