Quoi voir cette semaine ? Voici nos critiques des derniers films sortis en salle ou sur une plateforme.
The Fall Guy : Vive le cinéma d’action !
« Il [Ryan Gosling] captures Colt’s great confidence and deep vulnerability beautifully. The broken love between him and the filmmaker played by Emily Blunt seems sincere and is a good vehicle for comic and touching scenes. Their characters are not particularly fleshed out, but they are so well played that we have the impression of knowing them,” writes our journalist Pascal Leblanc.

“Written with the collaboration of six screenwriters, including author Sarah Chiche, Joachim Lafosse’s screenplay brilliantly explores the inevitable crumbling of family ties maintained by the force of lies, unsaid words and opaque silences.

“Illegitimate daughter of a cook and a monk, Jeanne Bécu (Maïwenn) prefers to sell her body to the nobles rather than rags to their wives. With the complicity of the Duke of Richelieu (Pierre Richard), Count Jean du Barry (Melvil Poupaud), her pimp, presents her to the king (Johnny Depp, almost silenced so as not to betray his accent too much). Between the ambitious young woman and the melancholic sovereign, it was love at first sight,” writes our journalist Manon Dumais.

Kanaval : In unknown territory
“In fact, through the journeys of Erzulie and Rico, uprooted cultivating in their own way the memory of their native land, the director treats with sensitivity the trauma of exile, like Ru, by Charles-Olivier Michaud. Patiently following the slow adaptation of his characters in their new homeland, Henri Pardo sincerely salutes the resilience of the exiles and celebrates with pride the culture of his ancestors,” summarizes our journalist Manon Dumais.

Unfrosted : Easy as Seinfeld
“Jerry Seinfeld will always be seen as the comedic genius behind the 1990s series that bears his name. After seeing his first production, Unfrostedwe have the right to wonder if its reputation is not overrated,” explains our journalist Pascal Leblanc.
