THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO PRESS:

2. undecided: May December – 3.7/5
“May-December plays and wins on both counts: the emotions are all the stronger for being served cold and with an ironic glaze, while the excessive cruelty of its satire is tempered by bursts of sincerity.” By Alexandre Moussa (Critikat.com )
“May December insidiously distills its poison in a deviant tale of imitation, perversity, transgression and control.” By Stéphanie Belpêche (Le Journal du Dimanche)
2. undecided: Gracefulness – 3.7/5
“Grace impresses with the way it weakens the existence of its characters, who are unable to protect themselves from a non-existent threat, undoubtedly that of a fate that separates them.” Fernando Ganzo (Cahiers du Cinéma)
“A very sober and sensitive film on a narrative and aesthetic level, focusing on the daily life of a father and his daughter traveling through the majestic Russian landscapes.” By Anaëlle Paccard (aVoir-aLire.com)
THE 3 BEST MOVIES ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st Place: Iron Claw – 4.1/5
“I was completely overwhelmed and touched by this film, a real slap in the face.” By Alice025
“The film is unspeakably sad, but surprisingly powerful. A must!” By Thierry-Gautier
2nd: The man made of clay – 3.7/5
“This film is a real gem! So moving. The aesthetic is perfect, the soundtrack is great and it features a very, very great Raphaël Thiery!” By Magali L.
“Amateurs of all arts, remember the name Anaïs Tellenne, she knows how to tell the story of creation, to be continued…” By Max D
3rd: Nicky Larson – City Hunter: Angel Dust – 3.5/5
“Timeless and always our greatest pleasure, Ryo Saeba returns to the big screen and it is once again a great success.” By Anis V
“A pure treat in the City Hunter tradition: fights, chases, gags, punches, humor, emotions, brave deeds. The great Ryo Saeba is always ready to save the widow and the orphan with infinite courage.” By fafao
