The cold is back. This week, some regions were even (briefly) covered in a white coat. While you've probably dug out your down jacket from the closet (and if you haven't, you should), there's nothing quite like the warmth of a movie theater. You're lucky: there are some very good films showing at the moment.
If you don't know which film to see this weekend, you can count on us. We've scanned the box office and selected what we think are the 5 best films of the moment.
Gladiator II
Subscribe to Lemon Squeezer
This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films in theaters. After more than two decades, sequel to the acclaimed Gladiator is doing well. Sixteen years after the death of Marcus Aurelius, the twin emperors Geta and Caracalla brought a reign of terror to Rome. Far from there, the country of Hanno is attacked by the troops of General Acacius. After witnessing the death of his wife in the assault, he is taken prisoner of war and must now play out his life in the arena as a gladiator. But Hanno is not just anyone…
Ported by Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal and Connie Nielsen, Gladiator II is impressive and spectacular, although it strongly needs to rely on the first opus to seduce. If you want to take in the sights, it's time to return to the arena.

Here
Tissues are also welcome with Here: the best years of our lives. In this new film, Robert Zemeckis reunites Tom Hanks and Robin Wright once again. This adaptation of Richard McGuire's graphic novel aims to present the entire history of humanity to us through a single fixed shot. Time, eras, characters… Everything passes. Tiptoed out, Here nevertheless worth the detour. That, at least, is what the French press and AlloCiné spectators think, giving the film 3.6 and 3.5 out of 5 respectively.
For the purposes of the film, Robert Zemeckis relied on artificial intelligence. His goal? Rejuvenate Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, but also age them. An ambitious film but above all very touching.
