The Bikeriders
Subscribe to Lemon Squeezer
With a 5 star cast, The Bikeriders is promising. Jeff Nichols’ feature film takes us to the United States of the 1960s. Kathy, with a strong temperament, crosses paths with Benny, who has just joined the Vandals biker gang. But what was only a group welcoming the “marginals” quickly becomes a band of shameless thugs. Benny is torn… Will he have to choose between love and his loyalty to the gang?
Just released, The Bikeriders has already received unanimous support from the press and AlloCiné spectators. The film benefits from a rating of 3.6 out of 5, which is a great achievement. The photography, like the synopsis and the actors are acclaimed. Austin Butler (Elvis), Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) et Tom Hardy (Mad Max : Fury Road) are extremely convincing in their respective roles.
Vice-Versa 2
This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of this year. After the thunderous success of Vice-Versa in 2015, Riley’s emotions are back in a sequel that is as colorful, funny and moving as ever. For our reunion, Riley is turning 14 and she is a real teenager. Vice-Versa 2 is interested in the thankless age, which brings its share of new emotions. Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust must accommodate Anxiety, Envy, Boredom and Embarrassment and cohabitation will not really be easy.
Vice-Versa 2 is particularly funny, with a series of jokes and comic situations. But the feature film plays with our emotions and intends to play with our tear glands. Funny, yes. But also poignant. With respective ratings of 3.7 (press) and 4.1 (AlloCiné spectators), Vice-Versa 2 makes everyone agree. To discover our detailed review, it’s right here.
Maria
Presented at the Cannes Film Festival in the Cannes Premiere section and awarded the Ecoprod prize, Maria is not to be missed in cinemas. This biopic dedicated to the actress Maria Schneider takes particular interest in the filming of the sulphurous feature film Last Tango in Paris with Marlon Brando, thanks to whom she will know glory. But at what cost ?
Maria is loosely based on the book Your name was Maria Schneider, written by Vanessa Schneider, cousin of the famous actress. In this feature film, Jessica Palud wants to pay tribute to Maria Schneider and highlight the abusive behavior that the actress may have denounced during her time. Necessary and upsetting, Maria managed to reach the press (3.2 out of 5) and AlloCiné spectators (3.6 out of 5).
Dissident
If you like Quebec cinema, Dissident is still being shown in several cinemas. In this drama, Pier-Philippe Chevigny meets us in Richelieu, an industrial city in Quebec. Ariane is hired in a factory as a translator. But faced with the deplorable working conditions of Guatemalan workers, she finds it difficult to remain indifferent. The young woman then takes many risks to fight against this exploitation which she considers unacceptable.
For his first feature film, the director pulls out all the stops. Social violence is at the heart of Dissident and should make more than one spectator choke up. The film received a rating of 3.6 from the press while AlloCiné spectators were even more enthusiastic with an average of 3.9 out of 5.
