Small selection of internet reviews:
“This film is a little nugget, magnificent, poignant, violently harsh, we find Polisse’s way of filming, very ready, very real, taken from life, always in motion, it’s beautiful”writes Angelina.J.
“This film is perfect in every way. Heart touching ! Taking. Deeply human. A social background without judgment, without morality, without pathos. The spectator left alone to face real life. It’s up to him to think about it, to form his own point of view, and if necessary to make his own judgment, even being able to doubt it. Truly a great film“, according to PLR.
“A cinematic shock like very few others. This impressively strong film, with a beautifully fluid and totally captivating storyline, is masterfully performed by all the actors who overwhelm us with emotions. A great film, sensitive, deep and intelligent“, says Guiciné.

Heads Up attracted nearly 800,000 spectators in theaters. It is currently available on VOD and DVD.
Rosalie, currently in cinemas, is inspired by the true story of Clémentine Delait, better known as the Bearded Lady, portrays a little-known woman and offers a form of rehabilitation. The feature film, while very classic in its approach, avoids any sensationalism, and is more of a reflection on difference and what some may perceive as a “monstrosity”.
It is not a biopic, but rather a romantic film, leaving ample room for a love story, between the characters played by Nadia Tereszkiewicz and Benoît Magimel. Both received a César in 2023, the first as Female Revelation for Les Amandiers, the second as best actor for Pacifiction.
