To help you make your choices, here are the 3 films of the week best rated by the press and spectators on AlloCiné!*
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS:
1st: EO – 4.2/5
“A superb film, this fable by Jerzy Skolimowski, which pays homage to Robert Bresson’s masterpiece, Randomly Balthazar, while moving away from it.” By Baptiste Thion (Le Journal du Dimanche)
“Faithful to its reputation in our Western civilizations, EO persists in living, constantly chooses its freedom, jumps all fences, flees into its dreams whose red filter stirs up all fantasies.” By Gérard Lefort (Les Inrockuptibles)
2nd: NMR – 4/5
“Romanian director Cristian Mungiu depicts a village in the depths of Romania and casts a chilling look at frustrations and resentments that threaten to turn into xenophobic violence. One of the peaks of the cinematic year.” By Olivier De Bruyn (Les Echos)
“With a seventeen-minute sequence shot, the new film by Romanian Cristian Mungiu, a sharp portrait of Romanian society in the form of a contemporary western, confirms that he is an exciting filmmaker.” By Etienne Sorin (Le Figaro)
3rd: The Pharaoh, the Savage and the Princess– 3.7/5
“A conglomeration of three tales of unequal length, the Pharaoh, the Savage and the Princess can easily be seen as a small film. Except that there is nothing small in the cinema of Ocelot, where even the most modest of stories are loaded with great feelings.” By Marius Chapuis (Release)
“Michel Ocelot’s animated films are tales of staggering beauty, which punctuate, in a fantastic tone, desire, love and the cruelty of the trials of reality and threatening death.” By Eithne O’Neill (Positive)
Black Adam has an average of 2/5 for 9 reviews.
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: Takeover – 4/5
“The socially committed director broadens the militant framework for a general public, exciting, human and humanist film, pedagogue on the medium of the SME and the ravages of finance.” By sydney
“With Reprise en main, a social film, a committed film, but which does not forget to be often funny and moving, Gilles Perret is talented in following in the footsteps of Ken Loach.” By velocio
2nd: NMR – 3.8/5
“A punchy, panting and gripping film.” By Sloughi
“Cristian Mungiu achieves a terrifying vision of the rise of the xenophobic extreme right in Eastern Europe. This semi-choral film confirms the virtuosity of its director and the vitality of Romanian cinema.” By sydney
3rd: EO – 3.6/5
“It’s extremely well done, always inventive. And it pauses time to embark on a sensory journey (and a bit committed), a bit like Pinocchio. Each image is sublime and justified. The sound effects are exceptional.” By OSC4R _
“It is indeed by the choice of his plans, by his colors, by his very particular theme and his sensitivity that the director manages to aesthetically delight his spectator as well as to fascinate and seduce him.” By It turns
Black Adam is 5th of the top spectators with an average of 3.3/5.
