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: The Innocent – 4.1/5
“Louis Garrel, actor and director, signs a formidable heist film and succeeds in the daring cross between the family chronicle, the burlesque thriller and the romantic comedy. How funny!” By Christophe Caron (The Voice of the North)
“From the perfectly oiled script to the often inventive staging, passing through the hilarious dialogues and the amazing acting of each actor, everything here exudes the pleasure of making films, the joy of acting, and composes a beautiful tribute to a mother loved very much.” By Anne-Claire Cieutat (Band apart)
2nd tie: Le Petit Nicolas – What are we waiting for to be happy? – 3.9/5
“Without a classic narrative structure, this little masterpiece of animated film reveals to us, in a poetic and deliciously nostalgic tone, the creative process and the life in flashback of these two comic book geniuses.” By Philomène Durand (Télé Loisirs)
“A tribute to the genius of Goscinny and Sempé, who died two months ago, this animated feature film blends with graceful fluidity the documentary account of the creation of the character and sketches from the adventures of Little Nicolas.” By Stéphane Dreyfus (La Croix)
2nd tie: Les Harkis – 3.9/5
“With a subtle art of the touch, Faucon shows the past face to face and in facets. Precious cinema, which, to flamboyance, prefers clarity.” By Romain Lefebvre (Cahiers du Cinéma)
“With pedagogy and rigor, Philippe Faucon pays homage to those forgotten by History. A film far from spectacular, which depicts the complexity of situations and destinies.” By Etienne Sorin (Le Figaro)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: Le Petit Nicolas – What are we waiting for to be happy? – 4.2/5
“Sempé’s line comes to life beautifully, the stories of Petit Nicolas are funny, and the parentheses on the life of its creators Jean-Jacques Sempé and René Goscinny are moving, enhanced by the voices of Alain Chabat and Laurent Lafitte. .. In short, go for it!” By kayak
“Luminous, poetic, light, funny and moving: what emotions for this sublime adaptation of the adventures of Little Nicolas!” By Louis S.
2nd: The Innocent – 3.9/5
“A nugget that does so much good, that makes you want to laugh, live, love, and go back to the cinema… Funny, inspired, touching: go ahead with your eyes closed!” By sans_hache_
“I didn’t think Louis Garrel had so much self-mockery. But he confirms his talents as a director.” By MATHILDE20485
3rd: Simone, the journey of the century – 3.8/5
“A simply exceptional film about an exceptional woman and destiny. Very charismatic actors and phenomenal realism.” By Arnhat.20
“A moving, intelligent, sensitive film. Something strong is happening with this film. Its topicality on the dissensions in Europe unfortunately sends shivers down the spine. A must-see.” By Manu Grim
