THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS:

1er: Migration – 3.8/5

“The immersive staging serving an inventive storyline balances fast-paced action with humor and tenderness.” By Stéphanie Belpêche (Le Journal du Dimanche)

“High-end entertainment.” By Olivier De Bruyn (Les Echos)

2nd: The Chimera – 3.6/5

“The Chimera seems to want to create an ancient relationship with images, dating from before their proliferation, and to make each shot an event, thus reconnecting with the fairground and magical dimension of cinema.” By Olivia Cooper-Hadjian (Cahiers du Cinéma)

“Inspired, cultivated, magical… “La Chimère” is a very beautiful, magical film, inhabited by eternal ghosts.” By Jean-Baptiste Morain (Les Inrockuptibles)

3rd out of a tie : Fremont – 3.5/5

“Treasure of American indie cinema, the most original and Kaurismakian film to see at the end of the year.” By Emily Barnett (Marie Claire)

“Poignant, Fremont is a film without embraces but always in search of love, or at least, of meaning and attachment.” By Augustin Pietron-Locatelli (Télérama)

3rd out of a tie : Levante – 3.5/5

“A furiously contemporary societal film, “Levante” shows us a vibrant queer youth, united in their laughter and their silences, their despair and their revolt.” By Mary Noelle Dana (Side strip)

“Basically, Levante is a teen movie of another type and of a certain genre. […] Revisited in this way, the genre is promised a new future.” By Camille Nevers (Libération)

THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:

1st in a tie : Migration – 4/5

“A great animated film with a good storyline. Nice graphics, lots of humor and endearing characters.” By Lyah

“If the Holy Grail of cartoons featuring animals goes to films like “The Lion King” or “The Jungle Book”, this one also deserves your attention for its freshness and modern themes.” By Benito G

2nd: The Chimera – 3.5/5

“Alice Rohrwacher’s most accomplished work; a film of rare beauty, poetry and emotion.” By Claus

“A great discovery, I didn’t know this director. The soundtrack is also very well chosen.” By tostaki

3 times: Suddenly alone – 3.3/5

“Very beautiful film, harsh and magnificent. To see in the cinema, on a big screen for the beauty of nature.” By Laurent QUESNOT

“An absolutely sublime adventure film, the setting, the glaciers, everything is there. The soundscape immerses us in this adventure of distress, survival, joy, tears, fear, courage.” By Alban Gelinaud
