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:
Joint 1: Other People’s Children – 4.1/5
“With this fifth feature, Rebecca Zlotowski signs both a very beautiful portrait of a woman and a love story where kindness prevails over rivalry, where masculinity takes on its feminine side and where archetypes are thrown aside.” By Michael Melinard (L’Humanité).
“We vibrate vibrate with the emotions of Virgin Ephyra, majestic with talent and passion, so true that we immediately identify with her before the Roshdi Zem, her awe-inspiring prowess. Barbara Teat (Le Journal du Dimanche)
1 tie: before eyes – 4.1/5
“The filmmaker, essentially an existentialist, meditates on the cycles of life, aware that his every vibration will be both contingent and sublime.” By Jean-Francois Roger (Le Monde)
“Hong Sang-soo’s concentrate, this time with a surprising epilogue. His staging recreates the time that passes and we try in vain to keep it. And the false banality of the situations finds its reason in the final quarter. An hour of this deaf tragedy.” Xavier Leherpeur (L’Obs)
3rd: Goya’s Shadow – 3.8/5
“At the end of his life, Jean-Claude Carrière travels to Spain in the footsteps of Francisco de Goya. Ninety minutes of intelligence and a brilliant farewell to life”. By Adrien Gombo (Les Echos)
“A writer and screenwriter who died last year takes us by train to the lands of the Spanish artist. And proves to be a generous guide.” Frédéric Strauss (Télérama)
3 best movies according to viewers:
1: Moonage Daydream – 4/5
“Moonage Daydream is a work of height and in line with what Bowie was able to do.” by Alex
“An exciting journey into the creative world of David Bowie. The images are stunning. No commentary, just Bowie’s voice, whether in his songs or interviews.” by Sassafras
2nd: Don’t Worry Honey – 3.8/5
“Without any big surprises, I recommend this movie because it’s a nice gift, a nice, very cool surprise. The script is good and the production is good, even if the pace is a little slow.” By Arthur Gezu
“A wonderful surprise. Suspense throughout the film. Florence Pugh sparkles and the twist is well controlled.” by Melanie
3rd: Great Race – 3.7/5
“A Beautiful Race is, above all, a beautiful story, clever, well-crafted, with turn-by-turn dialogue in the taxi and twists and turns in Madeleine’s romantic (and terrible) life.” By Daniel G.
“Wonderful story with Line Renaud playing brilliantly! Danny in another register also gives a great performance (long time coming)” by Cédri T
