To help you make your choice, here are the films of the week best rated by the press on AlloCiné!*
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO PRESS:
1: Poor creatures – 3.8/5
“Great in both form and content, Poor Creatures hardly suffers from a lack of control directly related to its heroine. But no one controls Bella.” By Erwan Lafleuriel (IGN France)
“Crazy, angry and exciting.” By Renan Cros (CinemaTeaser)
2. undecided: The cold head – 3.66/5
“Stéphane Marchetti creates fiction that impresses with its modesty.” By Guillemette Odicino (Télérama)
“Florence Loiret Caille is seen too rarely in leading roles and has the (slender) shoulders to carry the film. It is immediately beautiful and touching, but remains on the borderline between superficial roughness and barely visible fragility.” By Corinne Renou-Nativel (La Croix)
2. undecided: animal – 3.66/5
“This growing insecurity – an unspoken existential despair – in which the individual emerges from the collective chaos and separates himself from the group in order to better lose himself, ends the story on a poignant note, to the point where suddenly the Two hours of the film seem too short.” By Vincent Ostria (L'Humanité)
“A fiction of social tensions that is a little monotonous, but whose formal fighting power rings particularly true.” By Xavier Leherpeur (L'Obs)
THE 3 BEST MOVIES ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:
1st place: Poor creatures – 4.2/5
“A film of absolute beauty that deals with such diverse topics with insane intelligence. We are at the beginning of the year and I am already thinking about my film for 2024.” By Thibault Azoulay
“Spectacular! Funny! Brilliant! Feminist! Profound! Breathtaking! And Emma Stone is stunning and fascinating in this new tour de force by Yorgos Lanthimos, brilliant in both content and form!” By Philippe Savoir
2nd: The Red Rooms – 3.9/5
“An unpleasant, intense and fascinating cinematic experience.” Until AM11
“That's why the experience of this legal and psychological thriller doesn't end with the end of the credits. This film haunts us, haunts us, and inevitably becomes obsessed with us.” By Cinememories
3rd: So close to the sun – 3.44/5
“This film intelligently democratizes fundamental philosophical and metaphysical questions.” By Victoria Radao
“The performance of Quentin Santarelli, a very talented actor, deserves the greatest.” By Jérôme Decourcelles
