Top Movie of the Week Dubbed a ‘Cinematic Marvel’!

TOP 3 MOVIES ACCORDING TO CRITICS:

1st: The Brutalist – 4.3/5

“Alongside its enthralling narrative and exceptionally crafted form, the film benefits from Adrien Brody’s compelling performance, supported by a cast fully committed to this cinematic feat.” By Laurence Houot (Franceinfo Culture)

“A film that never resorts to cliché while still offering a narrative richness, enhanced by an outstanding cast.” By Aurélien Cabrol (La Tribune Dimanche)

2nd: Les Damnés – 3.8/5

“The vast frozen plains and snowy woods resemble numb limbo, where the violence of confrontations doesn’t burst forth but gnaws at these pioneers internally, as they question their commitment and their very lives.” By Nathalie Chifflet (Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace)

“Despite beautiful shots of landscapes and horses, Les Damnés primarily resonates when it focuses on the characters, their faces, hands, silences, gestures, or discussions.” By Marcos Uzal (Cahiers du Cinéma)

3rd: Prima la vita – 3.7/5

“A film of poetic grace and infinite tenderness.” By Françoise Delbecq (Elle)

“A well-embodied poetic tale, inspiring in both its form and moving in its essence, a love letter to both the father she owes so much and the art that is their shared passion.” By Baptiste Thion (Le Journal du Dimanche)

TOP 3 MOVIES ACCORDING TO AUDIENCES:

Tied for 1st: Le Mohican – 4.1/5

“A subtle blend of the old world and modernity. A Corsican western, in short, a beautiful film that is a must-see.” By lisandrina

“Saw this film at a premiere in Ajaccio. It excellently portrays certain aspects of our Corsican society. Both professional and amateur actors deliver very convincing performances.” By JMS

Tied for 1st: The Brutalist – 4.1/5

“Let’s dare say ‘masterpiece,’ a term truly deserved here. This extraordinary story is captivating and thematically rich, with first-class direction. As beautiful and powerful as the best films by Kazan, Cimino, and Paul Thomas Anderson combined.” By norman06

“An impressive and vertiginous film, sometimes painful. Adrien Brody’s performance is incredible.” By Maureen Ferreira

3rd: Daffy and Porky Save the World – 4/5

“A monumental movie, astonishing. Filled with feverish delirium. Porky’s performance is even more powerful than in ‘Space Jam’.” By Aston L

“A great animated film that stays true to the original Tunes universe! Full of mischief and emotion.” By charlotte podesta
