THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS:
1st: Olfa’s Daughters – 3.7/5
“The result, awarded the Golden Eye for best documentary at the Cannes Film Festival, is cathartic, exciting, very moving and open to the public, and makes us constantly oscillate between smiles and tears.” By the editorial staff (Le Parisien)
“In addition to being fascinating and moving from start to finish, “Les Filles d’Olfa” is a film that has its back. a battered sorority.” By Antoine Desrues (Widescreen)
2nd tie: out of time – 3.5/5
“Combat cinema, with a great sense of dramaturgy. Juan Diego Botto hits hard, and just.” By François Forestier (L’Obs)
“Conceived as a race against time, with a nervous staging, which creates a sense of urgency, this drama with accents “ken loachiens” sounds like a cry of revolt against a society that flouts the rights of the weakest.” By Laurent Djian (Télé 7 Jours)
2nd tie: Master Gardener – 3.5/5
“Filmed in images of quiet beauty, in a calm that is that of sleeping water, this story of redemption goes straight towards its goal, between perennial asters and climbing roses.” By Eric Neuhoff (Le Figaro)
“We find the ample and magnetic staging of the filmmaker, his talent for describing opaque men, haunted by secrecy and shame. Failing to surprise us, the master Schrader cultivates his garden with rigor.” By Julien Rousset (South West)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: The Daughters of Olfa – 4/5

“A cinematic and documentary experience of great power.” By Julian C.
2nd: Offbeat – 3.5/5

3rd: A night – 3/5
“Nice story with nice characters on which the camera focuses (lots of very close-ups, it’s beautiful)!” By sydney
