This new week offers us its share of good films to discover in cinemas. Like every weekend, you can count on us to know which film to see at the cinema at the moment. We have carefully examined the box office to select 4 films for you to discover in cinemas.
The room next door
Pedro Almodóvar is back. With The room next doorthe renowned filmmaker is already delighting the press (4.1 out of 5) and AlloCiné spectators (3.5 out of 5). Worn by Tilda Swinton (We need to talk about Kevin) and Julianne Moore (Still Alice), both excellent, the feature film plunges us into the intimacy of two long-time friends. We quickly understand that handkerchiefs will have to be included. After losing their lives, Ingrid crosses paths with Martha, who is terminally ill with cancer. She seeks help from her friend to end her life with dignity.
Encouraged by remarkable acting and intelligent writing, The room next door is a poignant and delicate film. Something to rejoice at the return of the Spanish director to cinemas.
The daughter of a great love
Cécile is the daughter of a great love. Although Ana and Yves loved each other passionately, they are now separated. Years later, the young girl had to make a documentary about her parents for her film school. She decides to make them talk about their meeting and their story, forcing them to find each other. Still marked by their past love, they will look for a way back to each other.
Critics are enthusiastic about the precise acting of François Damiens, Isabelle Carré and Claire Duburcq. With The daughter of a great lovescreenwriter Agnès de Sacy goes behind the camera and succeeds in transcribing the story of this couple marked by a powerful secret. The press and AlloCiné spectators agree on the respective scores of 3.2 and 3 out of 5.
Winter in Sokcho
Sokcho is a small seaside town in South Korea. There, Soo-Ha leads a routine life, between her visits to her mother, a fish seller, her relationship with her boyfriend, Jun-oh, and her work in a small guesthouse. The arrival of a Frenchman, Yan Kerrand, turns her daily life upside down, awakening in her questions about her own identity and about her French father about whom she knows nothing (or almost). Soo-Ha and Yan will spend the winter observing each other, measuring each other, trying to communicate with their own means and forging a fragile bond.
This adaptation of the eponymous novel by Elisa Shua Dusapin is both funny and very touching. His staging is fair and modest while the acting of Roschdy Zem (Roubaix, a light) and Bella Kim is particularly moving. The press gives it a rating of 3.2 out of 5 while AlloCiné spectators are more enthusiastic with an average of 3.9 out of 5.
Everything will be fine
Released last week, it’s not yet too late to discover Everything will be fine. In Hong Kong, Angie and Pat have been in love for three decades. But when Pat suddenly dies, Angie’s place in her in-laws finds itself strongly called into question. While the love of the two women was accepted, they were not married and this becomes a real problem in the handling of Pat’s death. Angie will have to fight to stay in the apartment she shared with her lifelong love.
Directed by Ray Yeung, Everything will be fine is a feature film of extreme sensitivity and infinite delicacy. To see in cinemas while there is still time. AlloCiné spectators loved it (3.9 out of 5), as did the press (3.4 out of 5).
