Is The Origin of Evil the best movie of the week?

3 best films according to the press:

1: Beautiful Morning – 3.7/5

“Although it is not clearly divided into two systems of representation, as Bergman’s Island was, this new film is also organized into two poles. The rebellion of love is opposed by the mourning of the father. A man comes and “another goes.” ‘ by Bruno De Ruiso (Les Inrockuptibles)

“From this autobiographical subject, Mia Hansen-Loewe paints a crystalline, delicate sonata, a sophisticated story that dares to let time pass. Seydoux excels, and Gregor, a brilliant actor, expands his ‘Gregorian’ field in an impossible role.” By Sophie Grassin (L’Obs)

2nd: Fighter – 3.6/5

“Directed by Camille Ponsin, filmed by Marie-José Tubiana, an ethnologist, photographer and filmmaker who welcomes and helps refugees from Darfur. An excellent documentary.” By Sophie Avon (South West)

“Collecting the words of refugees from Darfur and giving them access to life with us. This is the important work of Marie-José Toubiana.” By Isabel Danelli (band separately)

3rd tie: Tori and Lokita – 3.5/5

“Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne retrace the journey of two young migrants in Belgium who confront the networks of the underground economy. (…) A bittersweet and moving film that stands out as the pinnacle of their filmography.” By Adrienne Gombo (Les Echos)

“The boat is busy, but the organization of the resistance of the little boy and the girl reminds us that the Dardens, although their writing seems closed, can sometimes show some subtlety of line. By Joshua Morrell (Critikat.com)

Joint 3: Origin of Evil – 3.5/5

“The incredible Dominique Blanc leads an ensemble cast with little onions, making this venomous and immoral tale one of the best French films of the year.” Fabrice Leclerc (Paris match)

“The value of this farce, which explores a family and its toxic neuroses with abrasive humor, is primarily due to its usual gallery of monsters, played by an inspired cast.” By Julien Barcelona (Télé 7 Jours)

3 ex aequo: November – 3.5/5

“The director’s method is to base his film on solid documentation and extract from it a fascinating drama. His characters are well-recognized, portrayed by faithful actors, his spectacular staging with dynamic editing.” By Jackie Bornet (Franceinfo Culture)

“Terrorists can never be fleshed out. It’s the efficiency of a genre film that takes the edge off. An asphyxiating action thriller stripped of any other consideration. Five days in apnea.” By Christophe Caron (Voice of the North)

3 best movies according to viewers:

November 1 – 4/5

“No wonder you should rush to see this film, which immerses us in the events of November 13 with disturbing realism.” By Arthur Gezu

“November has us on our toes from the first minute to the last. We almost wish it didn’t take longer and last more than half an hour.” Author Iv G.

2: Origin of Evil – 3.5/5

“This film definitely evokes emotions: embarrassment, fear, laughter and paints a portrait of a problem rooted in our society. Very successful.” By Arthur Brondy

“A little piece without moderation. An amazing cast, a closed thriller that will keep you going until the last minute.” By Natalie Silfio

3rd: Beautiful Morning – 3.4/5

In “A Beautiful Morning” Mia Hansen-Loewe once again demonstrates her great ability to tell the story of family relationships and failed loves.

“Between the simple and thoughtful staging, the sophisticated and loaded dialogues and the impeccable cast, it’s hard not to get carried away.” by OSC4R
