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: Us – 4.13/5
“France, heterogeneous, along an RER line. We, perhaps Alice Diop’s most ambitious film, does not give itself up to love easily. However, it carries, by its intelligence and its deep emotion .” By Pierre Charpilloz (Band apart)
“We will have found here, at the very end of line B and the time of a stunning game of mirrors and duplication, matter to embrace intimate journey and collective exploration, return to sources and quest for the unknown, cursed imaginary of the exile and proud reality of rootedness.” By Vincent Malausa (Cahiers du Cinéma)
2nd: Another world – 4.06/5
“As always, Lindon is terrific. But all around him, all the actors play impeccably, in a fearsomely powerful minimalist style, surprising Marie Drucker as a ruthless businesswoman.” By Nathalie Chifflet (Latest News from Alsace)
“This clinical description of a dehumanizing, ruthless and methodical mechanism, which relies on consent, is poignant. Stéphane Brizé tears away the veil of misleading discourse, dissects this grinding machine which corrodes all social strata.” By Jean-Claude Raspiengeas (The Cross)
3rd: The True Family – 3.65/5
“The True Family is a wonderful film, without any false note: often heartbreaking, but sometimes also very funny, luminous, always subtle.” By the editorial staff (Le Parisien)
“With a fluid camera, as close as possible to faces, The True Family captures suspended moments and moments of weakness with overwhelming authenticity.” By Christophe Caron (The Voice of the North)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: The True Family – 4.1/5
“The Real Family is a little gem of cinema, the staging allows actors (young and old) to achieve performances that are just incredible. To discover with family or friends, we will remember it!!” By Margot1812
“A poignant film from beginning to end with a Melanie Thierry at the top of her game! A real revelation!!” By Marius P.
2nd: Another world – 3.95/5
“Stéphane Brizé once again explores the world of work with Vincent Lindon in the role of a boss who must put in place a social plan, which he considers dangerous for the company. The film is brilliant and shows the limits of the capitalist system .” By Arthur Brondy
“A work close to my idea of perfection. A film that lives up to its name, where the world of humans is subtly and fiercely opposed to the world of money, which excludes and dehumanizes. Emotions are perfectly transcribed, thanks to a game of actors who are present and conscious. We are in it.” By Fabienne
3rd: Hopper and the Dark Hamster – 3.9/5
“As a Disney lover, I was curious to see how a Belgian studio could compete against this American giant. To my great surprise, we’re really getting close! The graphics are top notch and the story captivating! I recommend it with or without your children.” By Maxime Sulpice
“A pleasant moment to spend with the family. I went there without really knowing what to expect and in the end, young and old alike were totally involved in the plot.” By Sophie C.
