Overview

• 'Vingt Dieux,' a coming-of-age tale set in rural France, receives critical acclaim for its authentic portrayal of rural life and its neo-western aesthetic.
• 'Noël à Miller’s Point' explores the bittersweet dynamics of an Italian-American family gathering for one last Christmas in their Long Island home.
• Noémie Merlant’s 'Les Femmes au balcon' delivers a bold mix of comedy, horror, and feminist themes, though its ambitious narrative divides critics.
• The animated film 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' brings Tolkien’s world to life with a standalone prequel set 200 years before the main saga.
• 'Saint-Ex,' a poetic retelling of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s search for a missing friend, offers stunning visuals but lacks depth in its character exploration.
