Blonde hair
Far from the traditional biofilm, Blonde hair is an abundant allegory of nearly three hours where the emphasis is more on Norma Jeane Baker than on Marilyn Monroe. The favorable rumor surrounding the performance of Ana de Armas is confirmed: the actress threw herself into it body and soul. As spencer last year, allegory on Princess Diana, Blonde hair has nothing of the traditional biofilm, even less of the documentary. This is what makes it interesting.
Marc-Andre Lussier
Athena
This third feature film by Romain Gavras (Our day Will Come, The world is yours) imposes itself thanks to the virtuosity of a staging constantly under tension, but also by its capacity to seize a state of mind which can lead to all the skids. Athena is a powerful social drama, which manages to translate in a very powerful way the mechanisms of a collective anger.

Uncoupled
Uncoupled is an eight-part comedy starring Neil Patrick Harris, a posh New York real estate agent who finds himself single overnight after his partner leaves him after 17 years together. Uncoupled,it’s a bit like Sex and the City cheerful version. We’re in uptown New York, and it’s about love and friendship.

Never Have I Ever
It’s heartening to see the brilliant third season of my first times (Never Have I Ever) accumulate views in the tens of millions on the Netflix platform. Even in its third chapter, this teen drama atypical has not lost its liveliness and originality, on the contrary. It’s always so funny, charming and written with finesse.
Hugo Dumas
The Gray Man
Brothers Anthony and Joseph Russo make a film here that lives up to the expectations they set. The feature film is two hours long, but there are enough explosions, chases, shootouts, suspense and humor to keep us interested until the end. No romance (aside from a light flirtation) and that’s fine. This is an action movie and the action comes first until the final, thrilling fight scene.

The Man From Toronto
We can imagine how the plot will develop. However, there are a few surprises along the way. The action is not lacking and the adventures are incredible. Here is a comedy that feels good, without much pretension (but a good budget – nearly 100 million) and quite pleasant.

Stranger Things
Expected for three years – it’s a looong long time – this fourth season of Stranger Thingsmore violent and more gory than the previous ones, comes in format jumbo : all episodes last between 1h and 1h40. Stranger Things has aged, like its performers, and its references are no longer aimed at pre-teens. It became a thrilling series of horror Itwhere new villain Vecna resembles the terrifying Night King in Game Of Thrones.
