To help you make your choices, here are the films of the week with the highest ratings by the press on AlloCiné!*
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS:
1st: babylon – 4/5
“Babylon is an excessive, chaotic, wonderfully orchestrated, brilliantly embodied, exhausting, intoxicating, fascinating, disturbing, ambitious, tragic, fun, moving, epileptic, fragmented, musical film.” By Allan Blanvillain (Le Journal du Geek)
“With his fifth feature film, the Franco-American Damien Chazelle delivers a visual orgy (over three hours) of enthralling quality and energy. A very great film!” Emmanuel TellierMarianne
2nd: Our suns – 3.9/5
“Between Chekhov for the cruel melancholy of a disappearing world and Lucrecia Martel for the family and social conflict, the director of the excellent “Summer 93″ signs a second film full of finesse.” By Xavier Leherpeur (L’Obs)
“Carla Simón, with an acute sensitivity and a harsh realism, stages the distress of a family which sees all its landmarks collapsing in a modest and poignant fiction. Through her, “Nos soleils” writes the twilight of a certain idea of the agricultural world.” By Olivier de Bruyn (Les Echos)
3rd: Youssef Salem is successful – 3.7/5
“Ramzy Bedia finds his best role in this hilarious comedy where he plays a writer overwhelmed by his success and his family.” By Christophe Caron (The Voice of the North)
“A nice surprise for this comedy, the most successful of the beginning of the year, which seduces with its intelligence and its writing skills.” By Baptiste Thion (Le Journal du Dimanche)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: Babylon – 4.3/5
“Immense, quite simply. Damien Chazelle, at the height of his art, signs the most beautiful tribute that one can make to the cinema.” By Victor B.
“BABYLON is a crazy UFO. A mix between LA LA LAND and THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. It’s grandiose, eccentric, funny, provocative, surprising, completely crazy, deep… But it’s above all a HUGE tribute to the 7th art.”
2nd: The Song of the Living – 4.1/5
“Very beautiful documentary. People who give a great lesson in life despite their traumas.” By Miriam C.
“A strong and poignant documentary by its measure, paradoxically.” By Patricia V.
3rd: Clan – 3.8/5
“A great moment of relaxation and frank laughter.” By Nicolas Stromboni
“A likeable comedy, Fraticelli infuses his characters with enough humanity to make these shots tasty.” Maeva Moinet
