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: The Sixth Child – 3.8/5
“On paper, the Manichean story of this dubious deal borders on caricature. On screen, thanks to the power of a formidable quartet of performers, a thriller’s rhythm and an unflinching image, it’s intense.” By Jerome Garcin (L’Obs)
“The first film in the form of an intimate thriller by Léopold Legrand, this drama effectively cuts to the heart of the subject of clandestine adoption. Precise and poignant.” by OD
2nd: Chicken Fries – 3.6/5
“Inventing the heyday of striptease, Libon and Hinnant’s new documentary, shot like a thriller, is fantastic.” Simon Horau (Les Fiches du Cinéma)
“A highly recommended movie waiting for Striptease to hit theaters (six 15-minute episodes) due out in 2023.” By Lorraine Adams
3rd: Maria is dreaming – 3.4/5
“For their first feature film, Lorient Escaffrey and Yves Muller sign a tender comedy that shines as much as its interpreters, Karin Viare and Grigor Gadebois.” By Corinne Renou-Natil (La Croix)
“A kind of encounter between I’m not here to be loved and Antoinette in Seven, Maria Reve has a crazy charm.” Thierry Chez (premiere)
The Twins, but not by much, are 7th in top press with a 2.9/5 average
3 best movies according to viewers:
1: The Sixth Child – 4.1/5
“The quartet of actors bring a lot of emotion to the screen. The rhythmic staging keeps the audience in suspense like a gripping thriller. A great moment in cinema.” Gregory L.
“The double prize for Best Actress for Sarah Giraud and Judith Chemla is well deserved. A sensitive, fair and moving film.” by Alice
2nd: No filter – 4/5
“In short, an ultra-effective satire that isn’t penny-pinching, but works thanks to very good dialogue writing, top-notch acting, and an inspired setting!” by NaughtyDog
“If you want to watch a real European movie behind the codes, they will serve you!” by unsolicited critics
3rd: The Sun Too Close – 3.9/5
“Excellent. I was transported into the daily life of Basile and his sister. The film is really very charming, we feel so many emotions in each adventure!” By Francois Louis Carnaille
“An intense film, a fast script and a great cast! A good balance between a difficult background theme and a fascinating story.” by Vian
The Twins, but not by much, is 4th in the best viewership with an average of 3.6/5
