THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO PRESS:
1: Priscilla – 3.9/5
“Starting from the curse that condemns the couple to escape its media glow, Priscilla is above all a very gentle melodrama, a whispered film that gives the marriage bedroom confessions the right level of sound for this story.” By Louis Séguin (Cahiers you cinema)
“An intimate, delicate, elegant look at the loss of innocence.” By Julien Rousset (Southwest)
2nd: Youth (spring) – 3.7/5
“Another gripping, haunting film about a land that is as strange as it is disturbing, but which is inhabited by souls who radiate an astonishing energy. We eagerly await the rest of the trilogy.” By Jean-Baptiste Morain (Les Inrockuptibles)
Even if the austerity measures and the length postpone more than one, Jeunesse (Spring) remains a unique cinematic experience at the service of a country, China, which is already witnessing a revolution with its textile workshops that has heralded over-exploited and undocumented workers Laurent Cambon (aVoir-aLire .com)
3rd: Finnish love – 3.1/5
“Amours à la Finlandaise is a spiritual and carnal film that demonstrates an inventiveness and mischief that, fingers crossed, will be in the spotlight in numerous works of fiction throughout 2024.” By Olivier De Bruyn (Marianne)
“A unique charm runs through this funny film, which aims to combine personal reflection on the couple, group therapy and a social project.” By Frédéric Strauss (Télérama)
THE 3 BEST MOVIES ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1: I captain – 3.7/5
“The film is remarkable without being heavy-handed, inspired by the simple idea of being as honest as possible to those who undertake the adventure at their own risk.” By traversay1
“A particularly realistic scenario. A moving and highly intense journey.” By Jacotre
2nd place: Priscilla – 3.2/5
“Excellent recordings immerse us in a heavy atmosphere, the music is captivating. The actress is great in this role!” By Ameline Grout
“The feature film is full of very good scenes and remains very well made, but it lacks a little depth to be truly strong.” By Diabloxrt
3rd: Iris and men – 2.6/5
“A nice comedy, but unfortunately it doesn’t live up to its promise.” Through the window into the room
“The film owes a lot to Laure Calamy, excellent, a little ball of energy full of charm, sparkling. Vincent Elbaz is also very good, in a more reserved role.” By ferdinand75
