Published yesterday at 4:00 p.m.
Poor Things: A (very) successful transplant
“The Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos has been creating unique films with strange and special humor for around fifteen years. His new feature film “Poor Things” is no exception,” writes our columnist Marc Cassivi.
The Three Musketeers – Milady: Epic, but scattered
“The Three Musketeers – D'Artagnan was released in April and entertained us enormously. The first part of this new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel is exciting, entertaining and charming. The sequel, whose title already suggests a more comprehensive examination of the character of Milady de Winter, is quite successful, but is distracted because it tries to tell too many stories at once,” writes our journalist Pascal Leblanc.
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget: Chickens in distress
“Dawn of the Nugget is full of allusions to Chicken Run and is based on a classic escape story, but is rich in twists, ingenious discoveries and complemented by a reference to the food industry,” writes our journalist Manon Dumais.
Wonka: Chocolate is so good!
“A cross between Oliver Twist and Mary Poppins, disarmingly frank, Chalamet's Wonka is more like the elegant and playful Wonka of Gene Wilder than the disturbing and neurotic Wonka of Johnny Depp,” writes our journalist Manon Dumais.
Merry Christmas: Christmas among crazy people
“Between bad tabloid theater and hackneyed mainstream comedy, the second feature film by French filmmaker and theater man Clément Michel isn’t really funny: it’s shockingly stupid,” writes our journalist Luc Boulanger.
