Arm yourself with a good hot chocolate and your slippers: the Crave catalog is full of new products. Here are some ideas.
Spider-Man – Across the Spider-Verse
It’s rare that the second part of a trilogy is superior to the first. The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2, The Winter Soldier. Maybe The Godfather Part II. We can add Across the Spider-Verse to this list.

The gags flow throughout Philou at a rapid pace, except during very brief interludes during which the comedian gives the spectators time to fully appreciate what he has just said. The irony will escape no one: his first show was called Sirbut it is with his second solo that Phil Roy truly becomes one.

Talk to Me
The rumor emanating from Sundance was true. Talk to Me, by twins Danny and Michael Philippou, is one of the most disturbing works of the year, diving into the very heart of horror. It’s hard not to come away haunted.

The time of a summer
Yes, it’s a slow film. Contemplative. And that’s perfect. The time of a summer is not a talky film either. Dialogues are never free. And silences often speak volumes. The film also reminds us at times The great seduction (Jean-François Pouliot), through his foray into the region, as well as Nomadland (Chloé Zhao), through her intimate portrait of the lives of the less fortunate. And even if the finale is as improbable as the preamble, we get caught up in believing it. And to dream about it… the time of a viewing.
Silvia Galipeau
A respectable woman
The direction of the actors is very precise. As Rose, Hélène Florent seems to wear a veil of sadness on her face throughout the story, except during brief moments of joy with the little girls. The actress is remarkable. His partner, Martin Dubreuil, is also true and touching in the role of the dark and clumsy husband, but with a good background, as they say.

My feelings by Virginie Fortin

The Crave platform offers a recording of Virginie Fortin’s show.
Virginie Fortin wants to talk to us about her existential thoughts, her intimate questions about our presence on Earth. It’s her own kind of humor and, with her second show in her career, she surprises us again with her way of making funny these ideas that we all have and which can be distressing.

The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan
The pacing of the two-hour feature film is excellent. The fights are well choreographed and the chase scenes are thrilling. The action is interspersed with dialogues which skilfully present the issues without over-explaining them. The camaraderie of the musketeers makes you smile and the budding love between D’Artagnan and Constance Bonacieux (Lyna Khoudri) is particularly delicious.

Top and Binoo: the film
Even though almost 20 years have passed since his first appearance on television in 2005, Toupie has remained the same. On the big screen, the character straight out of children’s books created by Dominique Jolin is still as candid, creative and… goofy. So much the better !

Breathe in breathe out
We don’t get bored for a second watching each of the 30-minute episodes ofBreathe in breathe out. The action progresses quickly, the jokes follow one another at a brisk pace and our detective brain is busy unmasking the killer. As in One way ticket, but in a bogus version.
