Our sisters-in-law : Black misery in colors
“René-Richard Cyr proposes in Our sisters-in-law a pop aesthetic where acidulous colors joyfully dominate. Resolutely flirtatious despite some periods of scarcity, her sisters-in-law appear in all their splendor, pride and femininity. After all, there is nothing too beautiful for the working class! », writes our journalist Manon Dumais.

Longlegs : This voice he has
“At the heart of this slow, cruel suspense with nightmarish overtones, Osgood Perkins allows himself a few comical moments, notably in the scenes where Lee, antisocial and clumsy, is forced to exchange more than three words. If the filmmaker lightens everything up in this way, it is only to then sink even deeper into the horror. Finally, if Longlegs doesn’t come haunting your dreams, chances are you won’t listen anymore Get It Onof T. Rex, without thinking of the monstrous face of Nicolas Cage,” sums up Manon Dumais.

Last summer : A violent poison
“In her desire to transform the screenplay by Maren Louise Käehne and May el-Toukhi into a more complex story, with the complicity of Pascal Bonitzer, filmmaker Catherine Breillat does not seek to shock the viewer, but to push them to their limits by slipping into the shoes of the two protagonists. If Catherine Breillat changes the ending of the original story, her conclusion, where we measure the extent of the consequences that lie, manipulation and hypocrisy bring, proves to be just as powerful. And terrifying.”, explains Manon Dumais.

Fly Me to the Moon : We walked – or not – on the Moon
“Better known for his work as a television writer, Greg Berlanti, who replaced Jason Bateman behind the camera, is taking his time. More originality wouldn’t have hurt, but his classic approach benefits the dense script by Rose Gilroy (daughter of filmmaker Dan Gilroy and actress Rene Russo). The relationship between Kelly and Cole is at least explored more in the second half. Like the premise, the two will try to find out if what exists between them is true. It’s cliché, but with good actors, we can believe it,” writes journalist Pascal LeBlanc.
