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: Tar – 4.1/5
“It’s been a long time since a film, a real auteur film, had so passionated the public, as a fictional character had not aroused so much enthusiasm and comments.” By Murielle Joudet (Le Monde)
“Because the real shock of the character is hidden behind the adventures of his fall: less a matter of cancel culture than an obsessive influence of acoustic signs which will gradually make him lose the sense of rhythm.” By Guillaume Orignac (Cahiers du Cinéma)
2nd: Forbidden to dogs and Italians – 3.9/5
“This modest, poetic and militant film is made with frame-by-frame animated puppets.” By Caroline Vié (20 Minutes)
“Marseille filmmaker Alain Ughetto delivers a magnificent film, both moving and joyful, on the transmission of the story of his grandparents, migrants from Piedmont who fled poverty and fascism.” By Stéphane Dreyfus (La Croix)
3rd: The Asada Family – 3.8/5
“A magnificent funny film, then serious, in any case very gentle, on the power of suspended moments and indelible memory.” By Christophe Caron (The Voice of the North)
“The Asada Family then becomes a splendid variation on the question of memory and mourning and on the essential role of photography in this transmission. And overwhelms you with emotion without ever falling into tears.” By Thierry Chèze (Premiere)
Mayday is sixth in the top press with an average of 3.4/5.
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: The Asada Family – 4.1/5
“It’s both very funny and touching. A film of great humanity on the journey of a young photographer who is a little lost and offbeat, on a bruised country, on the place of the artist, the transmission and the importance of remembrance.” By Tangi S.
“We constantly go from laughter to tears, it is a state of weightlessness that this wonderful film offers. Run to see the Asada family, you will not regret it.” By johanna
2nd: Pattie and the Wrath of Poseidon – 4/5
“The adventure that reveals a passionate little heroine is punctuated by many very funny, original scenes, and visual or musical nods to pop culture classics.” By joshaki
“The characters are super endearing, the storyline is great and visually, the graphics and colors are superb! I had a great time.” By lyah
3rd: entertainment – 3.8/5
“A very beautiful film, with incredible actresses and Niels Arestrup in a magical role. To discover with the family, it’s a great introduction to classical music for the youngest!” By Margot1812
“We let ourselves be carried away by the music, it makes you want to go and listen to a symphony orchestra.” By Marina V.
Mayday is seventh in the top viewers with an average of 3.6/5.
