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: Priscilla – 3.9/5
“Starting from the curse that condemns the couple to slipping on their media shimmer, Priscilla is above all a very gentle melodrama, a whispered film, making the confessions of the marital bedroom the right sound level for this story.” By Louis Séguin (Cahiers du Cinéma)
“An intimate, delicate, elegant look at the loss of innocence.” By Julien Rousset (South West)
2nd: Youth (Spring) – 3.7/5
“A film once again gripping, haunting, about a country as strange as it is disturbing, but inhabited by souls who exude an astonishing energy. We are impatiently awaiting the rest of the trilogy.” By Jean-Baptiste Morain (Les Inrockuptibles)
If the austerity and length will put off more than one, Jeunesse (Spring) remains a unique cinema experience in the service of a country, China, which through its textile workshops, already bears witness to a revolution announced overexploited and undocumented workers.” By Laurent Cambon (aVoir-aLire.com)
3rd: Finnish love – 3.1/5
“A spiritual and carnal film, Amours à la finlandaise demonstrates an inventiveness and a mischief which, fingers crossed, will be in the spotlight in numerous fictions throughout 2024.” By Olivier De Bruyn (Marianne)
“A unique charm runs through this funny film determined to combine personal reflection on the couple, group therapy and a social project.” By Frédéric Strauss (Télérama)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: Me captain – 3.7/5
“The film is remarkable without stubbornly trying to be, inspired by the simple idea of being as honest as possible towards those who attempt the adventure, at their own risk.” By traversay1
“A particularly realistic scenario. A moving and highly intense journey.” By Jacotre
2nd: Priscilla – 3.2/5
“Magnificent shots immerse us in a heavy atmosphere, the music is captivating. The actress is fabulous in this role!” By Ameline Grout
“The feature film is full of very good scenes and it remains very well done, but it lacks a little depth to be really strong.” By Diabloxrt
3rd: Iris and men – 2.6/5
“A nice comedy but unfortunately does not keep all its promises.” By window into the room
“The film owes a lot to Laure Calamy, excellent, a little ball of energy full of charm, sparkling. Vincent Elbaz is very good too, in a more self-effacing role.” By ferdinand75
