To help you make your choices, here are the 3 best rated films of the week by the press and viewers on DashFUN! *
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS:
1st: West Side Story – 4.0 / 5
“Steven Spielberg rereads the greatest of musicals and comes at the right time to tell about our times divided by fear of others and social injustices.” By Aurélien Allin (CinemaTeaser)
“Two hours and thirty-six minutes later, we come out of there capsized, eyes sparkling, hearts lost in the rubble of the West Side over there. Exhilarating.” By François Forestier (Le Nouvel Observateur)
2nd: The Lovers sacrificed – 3.8 / 5
“Thanks to its playful dimension, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s staging reinforces the ambivalence of a devious scenario co-authored by Ryūsuke Hamaguchi.” By Thomas Grignon (Critikat.com)
“We feel, from the first shots, that the last Kiyoshi Kurosawa is going to be a disturbing film. A film where the staging, slightly distant, almost classic, gives the story a welcome drought.” By Thierry Jousse (Les Inrockuptibles)
3rd: In the heart of the woods – 3.7 / 5
“Contrary to often touting reports, Claus Drexel signs an empathetic, fair and aesthetically superb documentary, giving its decor an enchanted forest look without this bias being indecent.” By Baptiste Thion (Le Journal du Dimanche)
“A gallery of portraits with an impeccable image, while listening and tenderness, between transformation of bodies and evolution of mores. Exciting.” By Fabrice Leclerc (Paris Match)
THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO SPECTATORS:
1st: West Side Story – 4.1 / 5
“Spielberg at the top of his game. A declaration of love for the original musical. His camera is always virtuoso. A flawless cast (special mention to Riff and Anita). By Korbô D.
“Virtuoso, emotional, brilliantly interpreted, executed with genius, we have here the masterpiece of 2021 and the best Spielberg since 2006 (even 1998)!” By Naughty Dog
2nd: The Lovers sacrificed – 3.8 / 5
“The image and the setting in scene seduce by their elegance, but above all the scenario is particularly well constructed.” By Johnmaylondon
“Very well conducted film that subtly mixes several strong themes (the couple, war, betrayal, superior values, etc.) in a well-established socio-historical context, while offering good twists.” By Little Importance
3rd: A woman of the world – 3.7 / 5
“Certain scenes literally overwhelmed me but we come out of the film with great energy. Certain characters are a bit overflown but it’s a detail when the emotion takes us to this point.” By Eric Maillard
“Very beautiful portrait of a woman with Laure Calamy once again moving. The film is very strong and powerful.” By Renaudes38
