Top Movie of the Week: ‘Remarkable, Fair, and Worthy’ Shines!

TOP 3 CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILMS:

1st: Collapse (Facing Gaza) – 3.9/5

“It’s chilling, uncomfortable, yet essential: a portrayal that screams of humanity and advocates an obvious truth (which seemingly isn’t so obvious to everyone): ‘War destroys our future.'” By Isabelle Danel (Bande à part)

“Returning to the scene after the disaster, now moved to Gaza, this unorthodox Israeli filmmaker, relatively unknown in France, produces a remarkable film, marked by precision, dignity, and political bravery that does her credit.” By J. Ma. (Le Monde)

2nd: What is Love? – 3.8/5

“Hilariously funny and deeply moving.” By Catherine Balle (Le Parisien)

“In the end, we’re not quite sure what love is, only that it’s beautiful and complicated.” By Nathalie Chifflet (Le Dauphiné Libéré)

3rd: The World of Love – 3.6/5

“THE WORLD OF LOVE puts images to themes rarely addressed in films. Much like SORRY BABY, by Eva Victor, this feature by Yoon Ga-eun doesn’t focus on the facts but on the trauma and different paths each woman takes to move forward.” By Emmanuelle Spadacenta (CinemaTeaser)

“Yoon Ga-Eun films with great tenderness and intimacy, portraying a youth in which she places much hope.” By The Editors (Franceinfo Culture)

TOP 3 FILMS ACCORDING TO AUDIENCES:

1st: My Big Brother and Me – 4.3/5

“A beautiful mix of emotion and humor.” By LucasL

“Always with that infectious joy, subtle humor, but also a real firmness in its vision.” By aurora*

2nd: For Pleasure – 4.2/5

“What a success!!! Laughs from start to finish!” By MadeleineP

“In short, Reem Kherici (also brilliant in the role of the sex therapist) delivers a film that feels good on all levels, appealing to both men and women.” By Anne N.

3rd: What is Love? – 3.8/5

“A very funny and finely crafted film.” By Claire CASANOVA

“Hilariously funny, accurate, and wonderfully acted.” By CoCo31
