The Voice of Success
, drama by Nisha Ganatra, 1h54

To avoid
L'Aventure des Marguerite
, comedy by Pierre Coré, 1h26
Marguerite and Margot, 12 years old, each live at a different time, one in 1942 and the other in 2018. Thanks to a magic trunk, they invert their daily lives.
Stéphane Kazandjian and Pierre Coré (Sahara) have
“freely”
adapted
Le temps des Marguerite,
the comic strip by Vincent Cuvellier and Robin (Editions Gallimard Jeunesse, Hors Série Giboulées, 2009).
The idea is pretty, but the processing lacks finesse and the distribution is uneven.

Avoid urgently
Divorce club
, comedy by Michaël Youn, 1h48
Benjamin Biolay, Audrey Fleurot, François Xavier-Demaison… What did they come to do in this mess?
Apart from sealing, we do not see.
However, they had been told that the rating of French comedy was at its lowest, lost somewhere between
Les jokes de Toto
and
Ducobu 3
.
How did they not feel the scam in this film by and with Michaël Youn.
A very bad low-level trip in which Arnaud Ducret (Ben) plays the service cuckolds with cocker spaniel eyes and two unique facial expressions.
Everyone has their own business.
For the story, it is summed up in the two words of the title.
Divorced people form a club.
They bury their married life there and all the hopes of making us laugh.
It becomes embarrassing, until a final and useless MMA fight.
One more humiliation for Ben.
One humiliation too much ...
