Love at first sight
“The Three Musketeers: Milady” by Martin Bourboulon
Visually successful, after an honorable first part, the second film of the diptych directed by Martin Bourboulon, with Eva Green, Vincent Cassel, Louis Garrel, Pio Marmaï and Romain Duris, marked by its hyper-choreographed duels and its refusal to make a Manichean story, leaves to get lost in complicated intrigues.

«Winter Break» d’Alexander Payne

«Wonka» by Paul King
Paul King’s prequel, centered on the youth of Roald Dahl’s character, constructs a pure liberal myth by adding sugar to sugar. Read our review.

«The Survival of Kindness» de Rolf de Heer

And also…

Quickly seen
