To help you make your choices, here are the films of the week best rated by the press on AlloCiné!*
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS:
1st: Toni with family – 3.9/5
“At only 24 years old, director Nathan Ambrosioni creates both a poignant portrait of a woman and a moving portrait of a family, with striking accuracy and delicacy.” By Annie Yanbekian (Franceinfo Culture)
“A funny, touching, intelligent, feminist family chronicle… which tells so many things about the first times of adolescence, the discomfort at those ages, the mental load of single mothers, the dynamics among siblings , and bonds as strong as fragile between parents and adolescents.” By Juliette Hochberg (Marie Claire)
2nd: The Red Sky – 3.8/5
“The most beautiful intention of this deeply human feature film consists of taking us on a tale of marivaudage of infinite summer sweetness to make us understand that its real subject concerns the throes of artistic creation, in what it can to have the sublime and the painful… ” By The editorial staff (Le Parisien)
“Christian Petzold’s new film is not only brilliant, it’s even better: magnetic. Frustration and desire, tension and sensuality electrify every shot.” By Julien Rousset (South West)
3rd: The Temple Wood Gang – 3.7/5
“Faced with the movement of entropy which threatens to engulf all the characters, the gaze of Ameur-Zaïmeche contrasts the power of fascination exerted by the mysteries of faith.” By Thomas Grignon (Critikat.com)
“What a magnificent heist film we say to ourselves, at the end of the screening. Magnificent in not resembling what we expect, like the greatest “neonoirs”. Magnificent, more precisely, to be reworked from the inside, acclimated to a geographical and social situation, redefined according to an artistic temperament.” By Jacques Mandelbaum (Le Monde)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: Toni with family – 4/5
“I wasn’t expecting such a subtle, funny and moving film. Real teenagers, who behave and speak like such, as we rarely see in French cinema. And a main actress who lights up the film. To see without fail hesitate.” By lecineaddict
“Little gem: a very beautiful look at the character of a teenager’s mother. Really a lot of finesse and accuracy in the dialogues. The characters of the teenagers are real, that of Toni is superb. A must see, as a family, it’s even better !” By vdlb75
2nd: The Red Sky – 3.4/5
“The film is touching, supported by a talented cast and magnificent images. A back-to-school favorite!” By Arthur Brondy
“The Red Sky is an original film, very well written and very well performed, which moves with great mastery from a frank comic to a strong tragedy. It is a question of art and literature, of views on oneself and on the world, environmental threat, in a story staged with great finesse.” By Patricia D.
3rd: Anti-Squat – 3.1/5
“A French-style Ken Loach is bound to be interesting.” By Emile C.
“The film is well-written enough not to fall into low-level demagoguery and manages to build up a tension worthy of a real thriller, without giving in to the convenience of a final resolution that would satisfy good consciences.” By sydney
