What should we see on Crave? Here are some suggestions from our journalists.

The First Lady
The First Lady, a series presented on Crave, immerses us in the lives of three American first ladies, Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and Michelle Obama. Three different eras, three women who lived in the White House and who each marked history in their own way. The First Ladyit’s also the pleasure of reuniting with three very talented actresses, namely Gillian Anderson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Viola Davis.

No Time To Die
In truth, No Time to Die is an episode steeped in nostalgia, a feeling that viewers are sure to feel when watching the swan song of an actor who, without counting the most films, is still the one who has lent his features to James Bond for the longest time. And who, thanks to his talent as an actor, gave the character a new depth. It is also obvious that, in the same way as they had done when Daniel Craig entered with Casino Royale, artisans will now have to relaunch the series on a whole new basis. We wish them good luck, because the bar will be very high.
Marc-Andre Lussier
Engine noise
Difficult movie? Yes. Film to see more than once to capture all its essence? Without a doubt. Philippe Grégoire told us in an interview. He likes to make people think. It does not give all the answers. That said, we will not sulk our pleasure. This film includes beautiful ideas and is carried by two young actors in great shape.
Andre Duchesne
Respect
Respect is one of those kinds of films where the value of the show is directly linked to the performance of the actress or actor who plays the main role. On this level, Jennifer Hudson is up to a role that few singers and actresses could have held with as much mastery. Without going as far as imitation, the competitor of the third season ofamerican idol(she was seventh in the rankings at the time!) manages to translate vocally – and internally – the transformation of a singer who, going from gospel to jazz without ever really meeting the public, nevertheless took some time to find his voice in the drunk.

Mixmania, 20 years later
Mixmania: 20 years later shines the spotlight on the cohort of 2002, the original Mixes. It’s very good, although a bit short at about forty minutes. There was here a film subject of at least an hour and a half, easy. In a convent setting vintageAnnabelle, Julie, Ariane, Frank, Emmanuel and Pierre-Luc tell Bianca Gervais – who is also directing the documentary – the advantages and disadvantages of having been fed at such a young age by the shrill cries of the Bell Center and the FrancoFolies.

Blue Bayou
Blue Bayou advances with a single objective in mind: to denounce an injustice. It lacks finesse in form, but in substance, we can only give in to the strength of its history and adhere to its purpose. How can you not find it inhuman that people are threatened with being sent back to a country they don’t know after having spent their lives in the one they have always considered their own?
Alexandre Vigneault
drunken birds
The film is based on the magnificent musical score by Philippe Brault. In addition, Ivan Grbovic also draws from his quartet of actors performances of great finesse. Of particular note are the compositions of Hélène Florent, whose stripped-down playing harmonizes perfectly with the quest for a woman unable to blossom, and of Claude Legault, in the skin of a man a little overwhelmed by everything that happens in his family life. And around.

Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off
Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off may not have the depth of those documentaries that can reach beyond convert circles. However, it offers a very interesting perspective and gripping scenes that will grab any teenager or adult who has one day sprung on a skateboard dreaming of arriving at the sole of one of the idols of the Bones Brigade.

Irma Vep
Irma Vep was captured in the City of Light with a host of French actors. The dialogues skilfully waltz between the languages of Shakespeare and Molière. The most amazing thing is the shape. The realization, both modern and retro, is sublime.

hacks
One word for you: Hacks! It’s good, funny and smart. It’s the comedy of the year. The characters that revolve around the two heroines are just as hilarious. There’s the sassy assistant Kayla, the psycho-rigid tour manager and the disconnected personal assistant who provide lots of laughs.
