We classify the films according to 3 levels of appreciation:

You will find there films that we liked a little, and that we want to support despite their small defects.

We don’t recommend:

In this category, you’ll find films that didn’t interest us, or that we frankly disliked. These are our disappointments. At Mag Cinéma, we want to respect the authors, and the work done. So we try not to use this appreciation so much, we prefer in general not to make a criticism when a film appears to us without interest, or contrary to our tastes. But sometimes, we have our blows of gueule, and have a voice different from what you can read elsewhere in the press!
