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 Night of 12 – 4.4/5
“Dominik Moll dares to reconstruct an unfinished criminal investigation to sign a feminist thriller, without culprit and yet gripping.” By Adrien Gombeaud (Les Echos)
“Dominik Moll signs a discreet, restrained and economical investigative film in its political meditation on feminicide, the opposite of a demonstration by excess.” By Sandra Onana (Liberation)
2nd: The Nights of Mashhad – 3.2/5
“Ali Abbasi returns to his native lands to unravel the sinister career of a serial killer, which says as much about the fanaticism of the act as the moral state of the society in which – and even for which – he acts. ” By Emmanuelle Spadacenta (CinemaTeaser)
“If this hunt for a killer protected by the religious system seems a bit conventional, the actress playing the journalist who is investigating this news item, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, delivers a vibrant performance.” By Emily Barnett (Marie Claire)
3rd: To Kill the Beast – 2.9/5
“If To Kill the Beast is sometimes too self-aware, the first feature film directed by Agustina San Martín nevertheless offers a handful of sequences with a bewitching atmosphere, coupled with a sensitive initiatory quest and an awakening of feverish desire.” By Mathieu Victor-Pujebet (Widescreen)
“A heroine who discovers the violence of the world of men at the same time as she awakens to her attraction for women. Still a little fragile, this upside-down tale is all the same a pretty promise for the future.” By Bruno Deruisseau (Les Inrockuptibles)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: The Night of 12 – 4.1/5
“A very dazzling success, this strong comeback of Dominik Moll. A police investigation in the vicinity of Grenoble referring both to Memories of Murder and to the raw style of stripping of a Poliss.” By Naughty Dog
“I really liked this film. It’s simple, no frills, with actors who don’t do too much. We are fully immersed in the daily life of a PJ.” By Aure
2nd: The Nights of Mashhad – 3.8/5
“A film that is both fascinating and instructive, which conquered the spectators of the Cannes Film Festival and deeply irritated the Iranian authorities. Zar Amir Ebrahimi.” By velocio
“Really a very good film. The actors play well, the music puts us in a perfect atmosphere, and the scenario is well shot. To see!” By Mathis Diallo
3rd: Thor: Love And Thunder – 3/5
“A good little Marvel, a nice script, appreciable fight scenes, emotion and a lot of humor (perhaps a little too much for my taste).” By Aureliane
“We feel a desire not to take ourselves seriously, but the effect is exaggerated, sometimes downright clumsy. The stakes are therefore dulled. Only the intensity in Christian Bale’s game brings a real plus.” By Vader Mir
