It’s the weekend and not just any weekend since it’s a long weekend. What luck! If you want to take advantage of these few days to go out to the movies, you are absolutely right. There are a lot of very interesting films on show at the moment. Despite the disappointment of Joker: Folie à deux, phew love, The wild robot or even Mr Aznavour are currently to be discovered in cinemas. But these are not the only films worth seeing.
We will make you the flower not to include Venom 3 in our selection, given the disastrous reviews from our colleagues. Still, there are many films to see at the cinema this weekend.
Juror #2
Clint Eastwood is back for the final feature film of his great career. For the occasion, the filmmaker did not do things by halves and offers us a trial film as we like them. We follow Justin Kemp, played by Nicholas Hoult (The Menu) who finds himself a juror in the trial of a man accused of having killed his partner after a violent argument in a bar. The problem is that it could well be the cause of the victim’s death. It turns out that around the same time, he hit something with his car one rainy evening. He thought it was a deer. But what if that wasn’t the case…? This would change everything, for him but also for the main suspect. Protect yourself or surrender? that’s the whole question of Juror #2 and the moral dilemma of its protagonist.
The synopsis is particularly fascinating since it is enough to make you break out in a cold sweat. Clint Eastwood knows how to keep us in suspense and oppress us. With Nicholas Hoult headlining, Juror #2 stands out as the cinema release of the week. AlloCiné spectators are enthusiastic with a rating of 4.1 out of 5 while the press is more moderate with a rating of 3.7 out of 5
Flow, the cat who was no longer afraid of water
If you are looking for a good animated film to watch as a family, you will love it Flow. Presented at the Cannes Film Festival last May, this animated feature film opens the doors to a world completely invaded by water where all human life seems to have disappeared. An adorable black cat afraid of water finds refuge on a boat with other animals. This is how a wonderful odyssey begins. Unity is the key and everyone will have to learn to overcome their differences and adapt to the new world that is imposed on them.
In the eyes of Guillermo del Toro, Flow represents “the future of animated cinema”. It is not for nothing that the animated film is rated 4.3 out of 5 by the press and AlloCiné spectators. Flow even won a prize at the Annecy Animation Festival. Between his messages and his visuals, there is something to take our breath away. It should be noted that the feature film is devoid of dialogue.
Anora
It’s the Palme d’Or of the Cannes Film Festival. The film that follows Anatomy of a fall has always just conquered our dark rooms. Worn by Mikey Madison and Mark Eydelshteyn, Anora recounts the meeting of Anora, a young stripper from Brooklyn, and Vanya, the son of a Russian oligarch. They are young, they are beautiful, they are fiery, they are in love… And they get married quickly. But when the young man’s family learns the news, things become complicated. Indeed, Vanya’s parents want to have the marriage annulled. Ouch, it’s the end of the fairy tale for Anora. But the young woman does not intend to let this happen.
Behind the cameras is Sean Baker, director of the excellent The Florida Project. With Anorathe filmmaker delivers a rereading of Cinderella that is (very) heavy, all sprinkled with a colorful and euphoric aesthetic, devastating humor and a multitude of emotions. Actress Mikey Madison (Once upon a time…in Hollywood) simply bursts the screen in this new feature film. The press is particularly fond ofAnorajust like AlloCiné spectators, who respectively give scores of 4.2 and 4.1 out of 5.
Smile 2
Come on, to stay in the Halloween spirit and before you take Mariah Carey out of the freezer, Smile 2 is still broadcast in cinemas. In this chilling second opus, Naomi Scott plays pop star Skye Riley, who begins to experience events as terrifying as they are inexplicable. Little by little, the young woman falls into horror. And we get chills.
