american girl
Pitch: Everything smiles on Ani Fanelli. She plans her wedding with a handsome man from high society, she has a well-stocked wardrobe and a position as editor of a reputable magazine. But her past catches up with her when a director invites her to testify about a tragic moment in her adolescence.
Our opinion : Inspired by the experience of journalist Jessica Knoll, this drama rightly returns to the theme of sexual violence. It also addresses school bullying and mass killings in schools. Delicate subjects but which must be dealt with. The production and staging are neat. A poignant story.
The Devil all the time
Pitch: Two people from two corners of the world can be connected by an incredible mix of circumstances. Two orphaned children meet in the same foster family. But, that’s not the end of the grim games of fate for them.
Our opinion : This film by Antonio Campos, known for “The Sinner” and “Punisher”, offers scenes as uneasy as they are captivating. However, it leaves viewers sometimes bored with lengths and clichés. But the characters, each crazier than the other, will surprise more than one! A work under high tension with the cast of the surprising Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson and Bill Skarsgård.
Little Nemo and the world of dreams
Pitch: Accompanied by an outlandish outlaw, a fearless young orphan journeys into the world of dreams to find a pearl that will grant her dearest wish.
Our opinion : Free adaptation of the eponymous comic strip, this adventure film for children where magic must reign is sorely lacking in fantasy. The themes of mourning and loneliness are approached with accuracy. Jason Momoa surprises in the comic genre.
Lou
Pitch: Lou is a loner who enjoys hunting with her dog. One evening, during a violent storm, her neighbor Hannah arrives in her cabin. Her daughter has just been kidnapped. They team up to find the child.
Our opinion : An adventure where women dominate the screen. These two tough guys surprise with their past experiences. Allison Janney’s performance is to be commended. A spin-off series or a sequel centered on his character would be interesting.
The king
Pitch: Hal is a rebellious young prince, who decides to leave the kingdom in order to live with the people. However, the young prince can no longer escape the fate he was trying to escape following the death of his father, the tyrannical Henry IV of England. He is crowned king in turn and the young Henry V must now face the chaos left behind by his father. The past resurfaces, and in particular his relationship with his friend and mentor, John Falstaff, an alcoholic knight.
Our opinion : Dazzling with its cast and plot, “The King” offers entertaining and visually appealing content thanks to these natural settings. If the film misses historical facts, it still manages to transport us to the Battle of Agincourt. A realistic, heavy and dirty fight, highlighting the men rather than the aesthetics.
