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: Days – 3.9/5
“The feeling that the film leaves once finished is indeed that of a healed body, reunited with itself, beyond suffering and loneliness. And that the most ephemeral of passages in our life can suffice to fill it.” By Hugues Perrot (Cahiers du Cinéma)
“Lascivious loves, crushing torpor and deconstruction of movement until reaching a metaphorical immobility, all the hypnotic art of the director is there, in this sublime film by a major filmmaker.” By Xavier Leherpeur (L’Obs)
2nd tie: The high school student – 3.8/5
“Inspired by the tragedy that marked his adolescence, Christophe Honoré signs a personal film, overflowing with romance, as luminous as it is melancholy, and organic in its way of following the inner chaos of a teenager today.” By Alexis Campion (Le Journal du Dimanche)
“Bringing together Vincent Lacoste, perfect as a loving but brutal big brother, Juliette Binoche, sublime in her widow’s pain, and the young Paul Kircher, a very beautiful revelation, Le Lycéen sends powerful shivers of emotion to the viewer.” By the editorial staff (Le Point)
2nd tie: annie anger – 3.8/5
“Filmmaker Blandine Lenoir signs a joyfully feminist third film which sympathetically retraces the fight of women for abortion in France in the 1970s, a few months before the passage of the Veil law. Laure Calamy is wonderful there.” By Olivier Delcroix (Le Figaro)
“Through the quest for independence of this single woman, the director Blandine Lenoir illustrates the conquest of the freedom of all women and of one of their rights which today remains dangerously weakened.” By Véronique Trouillet (Télé Loisirs)
Smoking makes you cough is fourth in the top press with an average of 3.4/5
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: Anger Annie – 4/5
“A real fight film about women and men that we have all forgotten: the MLACs who worked illegally but not clandestinely in all regions of France before the adoption of the Veil law. I recommend!!!” By Willie Cicci
“A poignant and deeply human film, with special resonance in the present day.” By Caimanina’
2nd: The High School Student – 3.5/5
“Honoré delivers a film whose audience should not be exclusively that of teenagers.” By In Cine Veritas
“A dive into Parisian life, for this young homosexual man who will explore life to heal his wounds. The cast is magnificent with a revelation: Paul Kircher, extraordinary. Shocking.” By Arthur Brondy
3rd: My dates with Leo – 3.4/5
“Oh my God, this little film is good and develops a crazy acuity on the relations between men and women in our societies, among other truths.” By Jorik V
“A success, full of sensuality and humor.” By Sylvain P.
Smoking makes you cough is sixth in the top spectators with an average of 3/5
