What to see this week? Here are our reviews of the latest films released in theaters or on a platform.
Dune: Part Two : Waiting for the Messiah
“After the sumptuous adaptation of the first two thirds of the first volume of Frank Herbert’s cult novel saga, Denis Villeneuve, unsurprisingly, outdoes himself with this breathtaking second part with mystical overtones. A tortured messianic figure, Paul Atréides, played by the incandescent Timothée Chalamet, seeks to avenge the assassination of his father with the support of the Fremen,” writes our journalist Manon Dumais.

500 Days in the Wild : Six years on the trails
“The film is a bit long, but we understand that it is difficult to summarize six years of travel in less than two hours. Fortunately, the director maintains interest thanks to always different landscapes, beautifully filmed, and the sometimes abrupt change of seasons (oops, the system of lakes and rivers on the border of Ontario and Manitoba freezes earlier than expected , which is problematic when we meant to travel it in a canoe),” explains journalist Marie Tison.

The last jaguar : A jaguar as a best friend!
“We understand the message that director Gilles de Maistre wants to convey about the destruction of the Amazon forest and animal trafficking, but the storyline is thin. Damage. The biology professor who is afraid of everything and who never leaves her hedgehog is far too caricatured, even if she will evolve during this epic adventure in the jungle. For her part, Autumn, the headstrong teenager who wants to save the world at the risk of her life, is touching and full of authenticity,” writes our journalist Olivia Lévy.
