The best film of the week “disturbing by its depth” – Actus Ciné
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: All We Imagine as Light – 3.8/5
“A wonderful mosaic film about the immensity of Mumbai and its human flows, All We Imagine As Light draws three moving portraits of women united in adversity. The finesse and gentleness of Payal Kapadia make all the difference, in addition to making crazy good.” By Antoine Desrues (Wide Screen)
“A film without strong dramatic stakes, but very sensitive.” By Catherine Balle (Le Parisien)
2nd tied: The Outrun – 3.5/5
“A remarkable character study, sensorial and tempestuous.” By Aurélien Allin (CinemaTeaser)
“Intense drama set in breathtaking Scottish landscapes.” By Guillemette Odicino (Télérama)
2nd tied: When autumn comes – 3.5/5
“Hélène Vincent and Josiane Balasko abandon themselves to the attentive benevolence of Ozon. But Ozon would not be Ozon, if there was not the trouble that creeps in, the violence linked to love.” By Nathalie Chifflet (Latest News from Alsace)
“François Ozon sows doubt and ambiguity throughout this tale of autumnal melancholy, subtle in his writing as in his direction, marrying the quiet rhythm of his setting and his potentially poisonous but so touching granny cake.” By Bap. T. (Le Journal du Dimanche)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st: The Outrun – 3.7/5
“A wonderful film, so well paced, the music is brilliant, and Saoirse Ronan is fabulous!!” By Marie GILLET
“Very touching film: Saoirse Ronan is fantastic. She leads us into her fight against alcohol and shares with us her difficult family history with her father. The images of Orkney are very strong and the seals are present against a backdrop of local mythology. ” By Régis Baillieul
2nd tied: All We Imagine as Light – 3.6/5
“Extraordinary! The lighting and the staging are splendid. A feminine story like we rarely see.” By MariaChapdelaine
“It is a major cinematic work that marks a turning point in the representation of women on screen. It is an essential film to see for anyone interested in Indian cinema and the status of women.” By Editor
2nd tied: When autumn comes – 3.6/5
“The film continues well after its viewing, so many questions remain unanswered, forcing us to question the motivations and interests of each character. Strong and exciting.” By Omg151
“The acting is very fair. The story inspired by a family story by F. Ozon takes us on board. We feel carried by this story. Beautiful highlighting of the town of Cosne Cours sur Loire and Donzy as well as the surrounding countryside.” By Julie S.
2nd tied: Drone – 3.6/5
“Seen in preview at Max Linder, truly excellent, it is gripping and distressing in the good sense of the word. The film makes you think about the subjects of voyeurism, virtual hyper exposure and the place of women in this world. A must see.” By Faustine Cavat
“This film manages to capture the imagination while confronting the viewer with the harsh reality of human actions. It is a work which fascinates as much as it disturbs, and whose brilliant production makes it a true work of art.” By Pierre Audigie
