On the occasion of the cinema release of “Frères”, we offer you a dive into Yvan Attal’s filmography to find his best film according to AlloCiné spectators.
Released in theaters on April 24, Frères brings together Yvan Attal and Mathieu Kassovitz. Based on a heartbreaking true story, the film introduces us to two little boys aged 5 and 7. Abandoned by their mother in 1948, they fled into the forest.
They will survive there for seven years and form a bond that will unite them forever. Decades later, the two brothers leave everything to find each other. But the past and the secrets catch up with them, even on the other side of the world.
Rated 4.1 out of 5 by AlloCiné spectators, this drama by Olivier Casas convinced the public. Furthermore, the feature film has so far brought together more than 230,000 curious people. Before Brothers, what was the best film with Yvan Attal according to spectators?
To find it, you don’t have to go very far into the past. This is La Syndicaliste, which boasts a score of 3.9 out of 5 (average of 2,602 ratings). Directed by Jean-Paul Salomé, the feature film was released on March 1, 2023.
Worn by Isabelle Huppert, Grégory Gadebois and Yvan Attal, La Syndicaliste follows Maureen Kearney. One morning, she is violently attacked at home. The latter was working on a sensitive issue in the French nuclear sector and was under violent political pressure. Investigators find no trace of the attackers… Is she the victim or guilty of false reporting?
What do the spectators think?
“This film by Jean-Paul Salomé is a remarkable political thriller, served by an excellent Isabelle Huppert, with Chabrolian accents, as a trade unionist and whistleblower. The plot is breathtakingly suspenseful and Isabelle Huppert, who articulates a complex character, is totally luminous”underlines Bdfoucher.
Zorro50 agrees with this opinion. For him, “the story is rich in suspense and twists and turns. The shenanigans are so dissected that the worlds of politics and business become crystal clear for everyone. Isabelle Huppert is at the top, even better than usual, and all the performers who give him the answer is flawless.”
Magnificent Isabelle Huppert?
For Joce2012, it is a “excellent film which denounces political and police maneuvers with the risk taken by this trade unionist magnificently played by Isabelle Huppert.” Patricia D agrees: “The demonstration is relentless and gives Isabelle Huppert the opportunity to deliver an exceptional performance. A film of public utility.”
The pact Isabelle Huppert and Yvan Attal
If the vast majority of spectators were won over by La Syndicaliste, certain discordant voices are nevertheless heard.
According to Christoblog, “the film is the clumsy illustration of a fascinating News item, quite poorly produced and suffering from a problem of pacing, covered with a harmless political-feminist veneer.”
Too long and disappointing?
“How long these two hours seemed to me. I didn’t connect with this film at all. First, the choice of Isabelle Huppert: she spends her time putting on lipstick and walking around. ‘haggard look, a cup in hand I didn’t understand or something escaped me As for saying that it’s a thriller… yeah, I’ve seen more breathtaking.supports Bambou45.
For its part, Math179 found the film “disappointing. It’s more like a poorly written, slow and not very well acted soap opera! Even if a few scenes can be interesting. I was quite bored, it feels like we’re going in circles for almost 2 hours.”
If you want to form your own opinion, La Syndicaliste is currently available on OCS.
