THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS:
1st: Moving – 4.6/5
“By its sad beauty and the yet virtuosic simplicity of its staging, Shinji Somai’s film resembles the beginnings of the best contemporary Japanese cinema. “Moving” can therefore be considered without excess as a seminal work.” By Michaël Delavaud (Culturopoing.com)
“This marvel of staging and sensitivity had gone unnoticed. We can bet that today, this film where sorrow, tenderness and vitality are captured in each scene will no longer leave you indifferent.” By Michael Ghennam (Les Fiches du Cinéma)
2nd tied: The Old Oak – 3.3/5
“How can you not shed all the tears in your body before Ken Loach’s profound humanism and song of hope?” By Anne-Claire Cieutat (Side strip)
“Burningly topical, this masterful work is moving.” By Stéphane Dreyfus (La Croix)
2nd tied: Past Love Syndrome – 3.3/5
“Between the couple’s debates and the antics of the exes, the duo of Belgian filmmakers from Une Vie Démente (2020) have created an astonishing second feature film, as crazy as their first. Where the desire for a child comes through the mourning of a romantic past .” By Nathalie Chifflet (Latest News from Alsace)
“Unusual and happily incorrect.” By Olivier De Bruyn (Les Échos)

THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: The Old Oak – 3.9/5
“An immense Ken Loach! A hymn to solidarity and living together, a moving and hopeful film.” By Aston L
“A touching, delicate film, to be seen without hesitation. Ken Loach has once again produced a very successful feature film.” By Moca
2nd: Second Round – 3.8/5
“A very beautiful film masterfully directed by the great Albert Dupontel. The actors are all excellent!” By Md’H
“”Second Tour” is a film not to be missed. It offers a unique blend of humor, political investigation and serious reflection, all carried by a talented cast. Albert Dupontel has once again proven his know-how to do in terms of cinema, and the film deserves to be seen and re-watched to fully appreciate all its nuances.” By Culturevsnews
3rd tie: The Pod Generation – 3.3/5
“The one that begins as a bittersweet fable about motherhood, where a brilliant Emilia Clarke agrees to play the game of artificial intelligence and have her child carried in a Pod, becomes a marital collapse where Freudian and Jungian torments do not never wander far.” By Willie Cicci
“A very nice film which does not fall into clichés or extremes to gently evoke questions of our time.” By Christophe Lerouge
3rd tie: Past Love Syndrome – 3.3/5
“Fantasy, funny and tender. And it’s a film that we are happy to see as a couple, which makes us think about what we are and what we can be. A delight.” By petitbonhomme75
“Original and so funny! A beautiful, fantastic and clever comedy about the couple. The performers are irresistible!” By raphaelle simavonian
