To assist you in making your movie selections, here are this week’s top-rated films according to the critics on AlloCiné!
TOP 3 MOVIES ACCORDING TO CRITICS:
1st: Souleymane’s Story – 4.1/5
“A powerful film whose aesthetic choices elevate it beyond mere documentary observation and social chronicle.” By Catherine Painset (La Voix du Nord)
“Through a series of phone calls made by Souleymane to his family, the film delicately and emotively uncovers the motivations behind this young man’s perilous journey across the Mediterranean.” By Catherine Balle (Le Parisien)
2nd: The Wild Robot – 3.8/5
“It’s impossible not to be moved by such a smart and uplifting film that doesn’t shy away from some harsh truths, and celebrates kindness.” By S.B. (Le Journal du Dimanche)
“The script, inspired by Peter Brown’s novel of the same name (Folio Junior), is brimming with poetic and philosophical ideas. The animation itself is a dazzling display of skill.” By Xavier Leherpeur (L’Obs)
3rd: The Apprentice – 3.6/5
“By treating reality like a horror movie, The Apprentice breaks free from the mold of overly cautious biopics.” By Thibault Liessi (Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace)
“Ali Abbasi is clearly fascinated by the rise of his neoliberal monster, but The Apprentice is more significantly a poignant reflection on the evolution of American capitalism at the end of the 20th century, and how it allowed figures like Donald Trump to emerge.” By Antoine Desrues (Ecran Large)
TOP 3 MOVIES ACCORDING TO AUDIENCES:
1st: The Wild Robot – 4.5/5
“I didn’t expect much from this film but was absolutely blown away. From the soundtrack, to the visuals, to the main plot, it’s flawless.” By Adrien Renault
“Magical and magnificent! A gem of animation, a poetic tale with truly successful aesthetics and incredibly endearing characters!”
2nd: Souleymane’s Story – 4/5
“Simple yet profound. A striking semi-documentary tone, reminiscent of the Dardenne brothers, with a final sequence that is a pinnacle of emotion and humanism.” By norman06
“It’s stunning, heart-wrenching, infuriating. Abou Sangare is a revelation.” By Arthur Brondy
3rd: The Apprentice – 3.8/5
“Had a great time watching this incisive reenactment of a success story as relative as it is unsettling. Often funny, but mostly alarming.” By deeejod
“Seen at the Cannes Festival. The acting is excellent, especially the male supporting role. A dynamic film that’s intriguing for anyone interested in what shaped today’s Donald Trump.” By Marina CATANESE
