A quirky young woman crushes on a weird artsy guy.
This is quirkier than it's characters, and is worthy of earning seventeen times its budget.

A Beauty and the Beast story about a warrior poet man who feels unworthy of love because of his appearance.
It's absolutely no comparison to Cyrano de Bergerac - (1950 movie), so much so that I have to flag this as disliked!
Watch Cyrano de Bergerac - (1950 movie) instead.

The past returns to haunt a retired crime boss.
Quite watchable. I think it's trivially surpassed by a lot of movies, but this has a reasonable simplicity without creating too much of a superhuman protagonist.

A special forces undercover guy is sent as himself to rapid-infiltrate a group of bad guys to stop a terrorist plot, but he's s nice guy deep down (or something).
Very watchable, and very French. If you know and like your French military/police type movies, you'll like this.

Bad Guys want to blow up a shithole to make money in rebuilding.
It's okay I guess, but the writing is off and it's frequently a tired revisitation of the earlier movie.

Very nice all around. Highly recommended.

Although a slum is walled off, run by gangs, and abandoned, a few people try to save it.
Fantastic.
