Filmlovers!
Directed by Arnaud Desplechin1h 28m2025
What does it mean, to go to the movies? Why have people been going for over one hundred years? I set out to celebrate movie theaters and their manifold magic. So I walked in the footsteps of young Paul Dédalus, as if in a filmgoer’s coming-of-age story. Memories, fiction, discoveries come together in an irrepressible torrent of pictures.
Our read: Filmlovers! (2025) reads as a neutral, steady, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Neutral, steady, measured drama, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured.
